PAPER/THREAD

paper, thread, wax, inkjet (Work in progress)

A series of dymaxion sonnet crown artbooks designed on Robert Buckminster Fuller’s principles of transversal systems in energetic geometry, using hand-stitched interleafing pages that collapse into one another and open into myriad polyhedral forms. The artbook attempts to make sense of how a reader might, in Fuller’s words, “comprehend feelingly” the lyrical and physical interconnections undergirding their interaction with the book.
