Introductory Slideshow

This slideshow provides a look at Frank Chester’s work in a purely audio-visual format, with no explanatory text. This can be a good introduction to his work, as it allows one to enter into it artistically rather than conceptually.

Chestahedron as a transformation of a tetrahedron

Chestahedron as a transformation of a tetrahedron

This animation visualizes how the chestahedron comes into being when a tetrahedron is “opened up” like a flower. As the tetrahedron opens, it becomes the chestahedron, finally becoming a stellated octahedron.
