Proof
flexagon printed with toner transfer on printer’s tympan, 2021
Proof is a flexagon depicting the interlocking geometric blueprints of the United States capitol grounds. In the wake of a violent insurrection in our nation’s capital, America’s constitutional foundations are vulnerable. The structure of three coequal branches of government stems from our founding ideals of balance, equity and truth. These values are visually embodied in the precise geometric layout of the capitol buildings, with the White House forming a right triangle with the Congress and Judiciary. Proof considers the strength of our constitution and the ideals of our foundation as we navigate through immense pressures upon our institutions.
“The branches of government push against each other in a dynamic and irresolvable tension, yet join to form a balanced and harmonious whole.”
