Woven Fabric on Cube

On each face of a cube, two times four strands weave a fabric of beams. The strands connect into twelve links, in three colors. The beams have a square-root-2 rhombus as cross section, yielding square cut faces when cut at 45 degrees.

This sculpture can be placed in three orientations: on a face, on an edge, and on a vertex. Each orientation gives rise to a very different visual experience.

The original is in three types of wood.

Also available as an eight-piece puzzle, so that you can appreciate the interior structure.
