TELOFLUX

TELOFLUX continues my explorations of geometric forms challenging myself to merge the visual arts and architecture envisioning geometric structures that blur their boundaries.

The title TELOFLUX derives from the Greek word Telos meaning complete, final, perfect and Flux referring to something that is not done, moving, flowing, changing, evolving. I like contradictions.

Animation of ASTRADOME and Stills of the Animation

Continuing my exploration of the Asterisk symbol in 3D, I’ve envisioned a dome with asterisks as flowers with a bud like form sprouting out of them. The asterisks are supported by a geodesic dome structure.

The animation begins with the geodesic structure and then the flowers begin to bloom on it. When I create 3d structures there’s always little surprises when the time comes to render them. They come alive when I add a virtual sun as the light source. Light not only illuminates color but also form, as the shadows cast reveal the shape and depths of all the parts. In this animation, I enter inside the dome and was delighted to see intricate shadows cast by the sun shining through on the ground plane.

Below are a few snap shot stills from the animation. The first image shows the geodesic dome with the first flower. As the animation progresses the flowers all bloom on the dome.
