Today has all been about the idea of projection, an idea taken from crystallography - this is primarily concerned with attempting to use a system to make sense of something that starts off as an unknown. The material that is being examined is then defined through categorising its possible symmetry(s). I have taken this idea and using the known, the forms I have been making, created a number of images that are now unknown but have a sense of having to be remade or reconstructed in the mind. http://www.mi.sanu.ac.rs/vismath/zefiro1/_icosahedral_polyhedra_2007_11_15.htm is a great site that presents a way of understanding the shapes with the resulting stereographic projections which connects to Peter Paul Rubens Six vignettes from Opticorum Libri Sex.
