The Forms

By  Susan Eyre 2017
12 etched aluminium pentagons form the net of a dodecahedron. In scientific visualisations of dark matter, we see familiar organic patterns emerge; the fronds of dark matter spanning galaxies could be the spreading branches of trees or the veins under our skin. The realm of abstract thought Plato called The Forms is where ideals reside, outside the limitations of the physical world and where, if anywhere, paradise might be found.
