Geometric art of Ghee Beom Kim

by

There are lots of excellent digital content creators on social media that feature geometric artistry. One example I’ve been enjoying lately is Ghee Beom Kim, a prolific artist from Sydney, Australia, with an interesting collection of images on his Facebook page, including 2D art, 3D art, and animations. Here are just a few of the many images from this artist:

Highlights from the January Post Archives on GeometryCode.com

I occasionally encounter ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) anthologies of archives from publications that have been around a while. Since that’s true for GeometryCode.com, I thought I would do the same for this site. I’m sure there are plenty of new (or newish) visitors who have probably never seen many of the prior posts from this website, as well as seasoned readers who may have missed or perhaps forgotten some of the content we’ve featured over the years… since 2009 (and before that for a decade or so on other websites such as our former online home, intent.com. (Thanks to the “Wayback Machine” for maintaining archives of our original, primitive (embarrassing by today’s standards) work in our early web explorations. The format and underlying architecture have changed significantly, but the content of “Sacred Geometry Home Page” hasn’t changed much since this snapshot from Jan. 15, 1998!)

With a bit of clerical assistance from AI, I’m presenting a retrospective (by month, starting with January) of some of the 222 prior posts from GeometryCode that might merit revisiting. However, I will still add new finds as they cross my path, so this quasi-sabbatical won’t be devoid of new content. If you (or someone you know) has something that would enhance this website, please let me know! Thanks for your many years of support while I spend a few months (probably a dozen) re-exploring perennial topics via prior posts with evergreen concepts, ideas, and imagery.

I am using chronological order (rather than the more conventional reverse chronological order), putting recent posts at the bottom to give buried content some breathing room for new or renewed exposure.

  • Cedar Sprig Symbolism: Freedom or Fragmentation?
    Published January 2023

    In this thoughtful January post, Bruce Rawles reflects on participating in a local New Year’s Day Peace Hike in Yachats, Oregon. He uses the symbolism of cedar sprigs as a metaphor for both individual and collective identity. He connects the fractal geometry of the cedar — with its self-similar branching patterns — to how we might view unity and fragmentation in human thought and social life.

    The post weaves imagery from the hike with contemplative commentary on how symbol and form interact: the geometric complexity of cedar sprigs becomes a lens to examine inclusion, peace, and the fractal nature of experience. Rawles draws philosophical connections between natural patterns and inner psychological landscapes, prompting readers to consider whether they view life through lenses of separation or wholeness. This piece blends personal narrative with meditative geometry, exemplifying the blog’s broader mission of uniting mathematical form with lived experience.

  • 2024 Martineau Solar System Calendars Available Now
    Published January 2024 (note that calendars are available again for 2026!)

    This post announces the release of the 2024 Martineau Solar System Geometry wall calendars — a perennial favorite among readers interested in precise geometric representations of planetary orbit relationships. The calendar series is built from ray-traced images that model the intricate spatial relationships among the planets, combining astronomical accuracy with sacred geometry aesthetics. These calendars serve both as functional datekeepers and as contemplative art pieces that invite reflection on the harmony of celestial mechanics.

    Beyond simply promoting the calendar’s availability, the post elaborates on how each month’s artwork is grounded in long-observed geometric patterns linking planetary motion to geometric forms. It draws a line from scientific modeling to artistic expression, inviting readers to contemplate how geometry underlies both the heavens and artistic representation. The narrative suggests that such resources — whether calendars, prints, or patterns — function as mirrors to natural law and can enrich both intellectual and aesthetic appreciation.

  • M. C. Escher’s Geometry and Illusory Perspectives Revisited
    Published January 2025

    This engaging post reflects on the work of Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher and the ways that his art embodies rich geometric ideas. The author revisits classic Escher works — including impossible constructions, symmetry patterns, tessellations, and recursive spaces — and ties them into broader themes about how the human mind perceives space and structure. Escher’s art serves as a springboard for discussing how geometry, often thought of as abstract and formal, can be visually vibrant and conceptually playful.

    Throughout the text, readers are encouraged to appreciate how Escher’s imagery not only plays with visual paradoxes but invites a willingness to consider multiple perspectives simultaneously — a theme with deep resonance in non-Euclidean geometry and spatial reasoning. There’s also a conversation about how such visual explorations can inspire geometric creativity and reframe the way we look at patterns, proportion, and dimensionality in both art and mathematics. The author hints that future posts will build on these provocations, particularly around non-Euclidean geometry and related artistic interpretations.

Fractal and Geometric Animations

by

Here are some interesting geometric animations… Lots more to explore!

A few example animations found using sacred geometry as a search term on Giphy:

Fractal (Octahedra) Polyhedra with Sierpiński triangle faces via GIPHY

A Flower of Life variation with animated rainbow colors via GIPHY

Fractal (Dodecahedra) Polyhedra with pentagon faces via GIPHY

A couple of example animations found using polyhedra as a search term on Giphy:

A Rhombic Triacontahedron appears when the animated mesh reaches its finest resolution; here’s a fold-up pattern for the Rhombic Triacontahedron (a.k.a. Kepler’s Solid). Here’s the animation via GIPHY.

Each edge of the triangular faces of this lovely icosahedron is subdivided 4 times. Here’s the animation via GIPHY.
