“Old Star” (blue/black with a matte surface)

The Archihedrons are: studies of form, architectural artifacts, polyhedrons... bits of the "unknown". Let them bring you both quiet and questions.
But... what is it?

It's an archihedron -- an artifact, a remnant of an unknown (likely future-based) architecture. Or...

• it's simply a strange little polyhedron I'm experimenting with
• it's from the album cover of REM's "Automatic for the People" (I did listen to the album again while making the steel versions -- the album totally holds up) -- (it didn't start as being from the album cover, that connected after already building these)
• a defensive construction more known now as it was being built as a defensive measure in Ukraine against military vehicles
• a simple love of the construction of complex forms in various materials, learning methods...
• -
• but mostly, it's a dream of future stars, of explorations of the great unknown
