Description
The gnomon of a geometric figure is the unit that must be added to it to produce a larger, similar geometric figure -- for example, a spiral segment added to an existing spiral to produce a larger, similar spiral. Gnomonic growth echoes the growth of living organisms.
Throughout history, the five-pointed star has stood for excellence and spiritual ideals. Hidden within the proportions of the five-pointed star are the Golden Mean and the principles of biological growth and form. This new series of star designs is based on hand-made kirigami (hand-folded-&-cut paper) designs that have been scanned and colorized digitally.
