.jpg) Interloctangles interprets the Borromean links as three steel rectangles of 2"x2" square steel tube. The outside corners or points of the rectangles are equidistant, defining twenty equilateral triangles that form an icosahedron, one of the five Platonic Solids. From some perspectives, Interloctangles appears to represent the Star of David, but this is a three dimensional illusion. Interloctangles was inspired by the work of British sculptor John Robinson (1935 - 2007), the leading creator of Symbolic sculptures representing mathematical concepts about dimensional space, especially those with ancient origins. Robinson created three sculptures based on this concept using interlocked squares, rombuses and triangles. .jpg) .jpg) Lee Badger's Interloctangles appeared in "Sioux Falls SculptureWalk 2009" and in the courtyard of the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux Falls, SD. In May, 2011, it was installed outside the east entrance of the University of Toledo Medical Center for a one year exhibition. (web link)
