In 1964, T6th discovered that a combination of two hexagons and two squares does a little better than an end cap of three rhombuses in terms of the efficient use of wax. Moreover, in accordance with the rules of perspective they [engravers] often represent circles by ovals better than by other circles, squares by rhombuses better than by other squares, and similarly for other shapes. Cylinders, cones, rectangles, rhombuses, and other geometric forms were melded together in rather severe amalgamations of orange plaster and black polyester, all of which were exhibited on (or next to) wooden tables carefully crafted by the artist, their tops skewed at various angles. |
