Junk Geode II : Cuboctahedron

Poster board and metalized polyester film.

The junk geode mimics the geological form of its namesake, a cavity inside rock that contains various crystal minerals such as calcite, pyrite, and dolomite etc.
In this iteration the containing geometric solid is a cuboctahedron, a polyhedron with eight triangular faces and six square faces. The crystalline interior is imitated by metalized polyester film which can be manipulated by hand within its shell.
