Description

Triangular Hexagonal symmetry exercise #4/4
It’s actually one of the most satisfying things I have made for a number of reasons. The links are so tightly compacted from their own tension that it is nearly a solid object. Because it has rotational symmetry and tapered arms if you place it on a table you can spin it like a top. As it turns out in my attempt at exploring triangular symmetry in a hexagon I ended up making a making a sierpinski gasket or a concave hexagon (depending on how you look at it) with a superperfect number of links ( in mathematics superperfect means 2x2=4x2=16x2=32x2=64 etc where each number is double the last ) which coincidentally is the number of hexagrams in the I ching , codons in RNA and yantras from Shiva to name a few curiosities’. What is intrinsically interesting about this is that I recently realised that the method of making 3d chainmail structures ought to follow the same rules of crystallisation as other solids. In retrospect (I have been making these types of “doodles” as I call them for three or four years) the only stable structures have already been sussed out by nature. What this means is that I now have a whole universe of crystal solids for inspiration. I would eventually like to make concept pieces where the construction mirrors the crystal lattice structure.
