ROLE

Artist

Unlike a hexagon or a square, the construction of a pentagon with a compass requires a number of steps that do not intuitively lead to its formation. The drawing of the five-sided pentagon inspired me to find the mathematical proof of its geometric construction. After I found the proof, my interest in the pentagon extended to the regular dodecahedron - a 12 sided platonic solid composed of pentagons. For our final project, Trisha Snyder and I applied tape to the walls surrounding the Art and Architecture pit depicting dodecahedrons which could only be seen when viewed in a mirror from a specific angle.
