Although the main challenge of creating the metatronic solids was applying knot patterns to regular polyhedra, each face was interesting itself.
The first iteration of the faces was the hexahedron. This piece uses the faces of a hexahedron, a square, to create a cubic volume. Rather than the pieces being connected (as in the metatronic solid and reversed metatronic solid of the hexahedron), copies of the face are stacked.
For the next version I focused on just one face, a triangle from a tetrahedron. I used gold leaf poles to elevate the shape off of the background.
The radial lines in the knot design were emphasized by darker, inlaid wood.
The dodecahedron face, a pentagon has many more radial lines. They were also inlaid with a contrasting wood.
There’s one more of the square / hexahedron.
This one was a little more involved, so there’s a separate post devoted to the metatronic solid face for the hexahedron.
