Stellating the Icosahedron

I worked on this painting from 2002-2004, then, several years later, I gave it to two good friends of mine, when they married, as a wedding present. It is 16″ x 20,” and is painted with acrylics, on canvas. The painting was given its title because of its origin, as a colored (and slightly modified) version of the stellation pattern of the icosahedron.

Mathematical Therapy

When I need to, I make mathematical images to improve my mood. For me, it works. These are three I created yesterday, using MS-Paint and Geometer’s Sketchpad.

I have a hunch this sort of thing would only work for a very few people, and we’re probably all Aspies, whether diagnosed or not.

I also call this sort of thing “recreational mathematics.” It’s better than Prozac, at least for me.

I’ve been doing this sort of thing for far longer than I’ve been on WordPress. These are just the latest such images.
