I love the world of scared geometry - it fascinates me. The principles of scared geometry are deeply embedded throughout history, from the ancient Egyptians to the present. Scared geometry manifests itself in architecture, art, music, nature, and the cosmos. Many people believe these forms are sacred and a way to connect with the Divine. Sacred geometry is also considered a window into Divine proportions.

It is here that I began my investigations looking at scared spaces and constructing the basic five platonic shapes. My research led me to Chartres Cathedral, where I deconstructed the rose window, abstracting its fundamental shapes. Next, restricting myself to using only one form—a circle, I discovered that every form or shape can be constructed from a circle and is found in a circle. With this construct, I designed three pieces using Grasshopper, a plug-in to Rhinoceros 3-D. In the constructions, I noticed my natural instinct was to follow the tiered levels of the Chartres Rose Window. Remember I was only using one form, the circle, and mathematically distorting its shape. I 3-D printed each of the forms in PLA. Looking at these forms, the neutral form, the center, is unresolved, while the end-point objects are resolved, one inward and one outward. As your eye oscillates between the three constructs, you almost feel a pulsating effect. These pieces were exhibited in the Senior Show “Things Have Changed Between Us” at Bennington College, May 2014.
