3D Paper Polyhedra
Something else I've been toying with is creating actual 3d objects, using nets, to represent the Platonic elements. Even just for me, this simple form of interactivity made it feel a lot more interesting, like I was engaging with the actual form these shapes took, and understanding the concepts of self-similarity, symmetry and 'regular' polyhedra, more than I did even from the content of previously mentioned books, purely by seeing them in a different way. These are some photographs I took exploring various, ISO sensitivities on my camera, a light box and the paper polyhedra - after a long time of cutting, folding, fiddling and glueing them together.
