A septych of sextics

August 26, 2019

I've been dreaming of this piece of art for a while, where i have seven renderings of the Barth Sextic. I finally made it!

I rendered the images using my curve and surface software Bertini_real, and arranged them in Inkscape. I had the image printed onto fabric by Spoonflower, and then sewed it into a hexagon. I made the frame from 5/8" square dowel, with corner brackets I modeled in OpenSCAD. The finished piece dominates the wall it's on -- the span is nearly 5 feet across.

Enjoy!
