Stacked Tetradecagons (14 sided polyhedrons) were made in honor of Sekiguchi’s father, a mathematician who favored geometry as the most elegant form of math. In the original installation after her father passed, she made 12 sets of the tetradecagons for a total of 168 panels, an auspicious number in Chinese numerology. Each set had a pattern that referenced her father’s life in some way. In this stacked sculpture, the patterns symbolize from top to bottom: Ancient Greek pattern (her father studied the Greek language and history); Japanese folk fabric pattern; Randomness; and an intersection at circles of her own design.
The installation has been reconfigured in many iterations as each section is hinged and can flow across the walls to the floor for each specific site.
The following images show the various iterations that Stacked Tetradecagons have be reconfigured in:
