Colors by Philip Chapman-Bell Via Flickr: There are, I imagine, a finite number of ways that one can five-color a pentagonal 60-hedron. But I don't know what they are, preferring -- seemingly -- the infinite number of ways one can't do it.

Triple Helix Toroidal Evertor on Flickr.

Via Flickr: A nonagonal prism, described by three helices. But it wouldn't stand up straight, so I made it into a doughnut. And it everts and everts and everts -- much as cyberspace is said to do. The next time, I think I'll make the helices lie upon a cylinder. It'll be neater.

Brightness Falls from the Air on Flickr.

Via Flickr: A variation of a model by Robert Webb, the topological small triambic icosahedron. Topological, I understand - but triambic? Makes me think of iambic trimeter and that always makes me think of Nashe's Litany in Time of Plague. I had thought putting this model together would give me some insight into the colors. Not yet. A happy New Year to all!

Deltoidal Icositetrahedreuleaux Globe on Flickr.

Via Flickr: Saw an article in the paper about a Thanksgiving art thing in the woods, on the Mill River, over by the Marshall Street neighborhood. It had started as a string of Tibetan prayer flags and then morphed into this collection of clothes lines in the woods, with votive flags for Sobriety and Family and Hope and whatnot. Sounded kind of vague and not a little heathenish to me, but hey, I live in the Fort Hill neighborhood and it being a flood plain, I figure this is a good place to dump excess artistic effluent. Thankfully.
