Bronna A. Butler and Jessica K. Sklar (Truncated triangular trapezohedron)

Dürer’s Bat, vitreous paints on stained glass, and solder

[] Artist Bronna A. Butler and mathematician Jessica K. Sklar collaborate as the creative team QED Arts, LLC. Their piece, Dürer’s Bat, is a stained glass three-dimensional rendition of Dürer’s solid, the truncated triangular trapezohedron found in Albrecht Dürer’s 1514 engraving Melencolia I. Dürer’s Bat evokes the sky with its sunset-orange and midnight-blue faces, and features the bat found in Dürer’s engraving.
