Created using Stella 4d, available here, by multiple stellations of a black icosidodecahedron, rendered as a rotating figure, against a black background.

32 Octagonal Mandalas, Rotating in the Dark
To create the octagonal mandalas, I used Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. I then projected them onto the faces of an all-but invisible icosidodecahedron, and created this rotating .gif image of it, using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, software you can try for free, right here.

Icosidodecahedral Stained Glass
Polyhedra are one of the areas (there are at least a few others) where the fields of mathematics and art intersect. Stella 4d, the program I used to make this image, is a great tool for the exploration of this region of intersection. This software may be tried for free right here.
Not for Government Use
5, 10, and 15 (from 2012)
I recently found a bunch of my “lost” geometrical art which never found its way to this blog before, and here’s the latest piece of it. Created in 2012, it has a central pentadecagon, five orange decagons partially hidden behind other polygons, and many pentagons, all of them regular.
