Hexacubes

Click the pictures to see a larger view.

The following paintings and sculptures are part of a series of Hexacubes which began in 1980. Some of the earlier pieces were made of plaster and used as molds in plastic vacuum forming machines. The first piece is an example of a single module formed on a sheet of white plastic. The modules would be cut out and glued together to form intricate crystal shapes, such as the colorful plastic piece on the mirror pedestal below. In 1983 I met R. Buckminster Fuller who pronounced the hexacube sculpture "very beautiful." In addition to having structural qualities, the hexacubes have optical illusion effects.

Below are recent paintings, 12" on a side, 24" high. All are mixed media on a flat panel. Some of the people whose ideas influenced the direction I took in this series include: Frank Stella, Rudolph Arnheim, Jasper Johns, Bucky Fuller, Robert Persig, Douglas Hofstadter, and Vernon Merrifield.
