Description
Not my creations, the above were done by Ulrich Mikloweit. They are the Platonic solids showing the duality between the icosohedron and dodecahedron, octahedron and cube, and the tetrahedron with itself.The designs are hand-cut. I am in awe of Ulrich's precision and control. Not only are the patterns delicate and graceful, they also afford a view into a solid's internal structure, much like Leonardo style polyhedra.
Ulrich has been an internet friend of mine for some years and following his work has given me a lot of pleasure. I recommend checking out his online gallery: www.polyedergarten.de/e_index.…

This is so interesting stuff,my son show it to me often,he digged it out him self from internet...they don't teach that at school! - wonder why?
Actually this knowledg was secret and forbidden for long time to bigger public...only priests and "wise -ass- mans" knew it,and they didn't want to shear it with everyone to profit from them lack of knowledg about all that profitable understanding of nature and mathematical posibilities...

These are fantastic ! Especially the Icoso-Dodeca duality; that has always fascinated me. For a long time, I've thought of making a dodecahedron and anamorphicly painting the surface so that an icosohedron appears nested within it (of course it would only be visible from one angle). These sculptures get around that, and present the relationship brilliantly! Awesome works! I must visit his site now. Thank you for sharing these!

Fantastic. The fact these are hand-cut with that much detail is awe-inspiring. I made some models like this in 3D, and was going to have them 3D printed, but doing this kind of work by hand is just amazing! Great stuff. Thank you for bringing them to my attention.
