About the Work
The Flexahedron is the living sculpture — the one that moves.
Where the other pieces in the collection hold their geometry fixed, the Flexahedron collapses and expands, cycles through dimensional states, demonstrates in real time what the others merely suggest: that form is not static but oscillatory, that every structure is a temporary equilibrium in an ongoing process of becoming.
Brant Hindman's research into the flexagon — a mathematical form first described in 1939 by Arthur Stone, which appears to have more faces than a flat surface should — led directly to this piece. The Flexahedron extends the flexagon principle into three dimensions: a form that reveals hidden faces as it flexes, that seems to have more inside than outside, that cannot be fully mapped in any single configuration.
It is described as "holographic" because each part contains information about the whole. "Self-similar" because each scale of the structure mirrors every other. "An expression of empty form" because its most important element is the space it creates as it moves — the void that becomes visible only through the movement of solid geometry.
The Flexahedron is also the most democratic piece in the collection: it is meant to be handled, flexed, carried, given away. It is philosophy you can hold.
