Jamnitzer Platonic Solid Studies

A huge source of inspiration for my work and where a lot of the geometric basis of my work lies comes from Jamnitzer. Wenzel Jamnitzer was a Mannerist goldsmith, artist and printmaker from Nuremberg. He was a court goldsmith for a succession of Holy Roman Emperors as well as head of the city mint of Nuremberg for a time. He published "Perspectiva Corporum Regularium".

I've created digital renderings of some of his platonic solids conceived in his publication.
