This is a single Magic-Cube consits of 12 individual Pyramids. Each one connected on two sides and carrying rare-earth magnets to help stabilize the major structures. A single Cube has 36 magnets. There are 5 major shapes that will „fall into place“, meaning the magnets will pull it together and no hinge is left flexible. As a toy the Cube posesses the challenge of a Riddle to unlock the different Shapes or to find the paths of shortest movement between them. As Art it can be left Standing, or with the supplied Wallmount, be displayed as a hanging Object. The beauty of this dissection, displayed in Numbers, are the different sidelengths of a Single Pyramid. Namely: One, Sqareroot of Two and Half Squareroot of Three.

Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.

This block of Art Deco flats in East Melbourne has a wonderful entranceway with geometric Jazz Age designs around it.
This block of flats is typical of the Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the war. They are as chic today as when they were first built in the 20s or early 30s.

"Rock Art: images or figures caraved or painted on stone are commonly called rock art. Rock art is a universal medium used by many cultures at different time periods for special purposes. The images formed by removing or painting the rock surface are most often associated with the spiritual realm and were created for ceremonial reasons. Rock art is not a written language with symbols representing words, and it can not be read as a picture book. The images can however give clues to the maker's religious and spiritual world. THere are two main techniques for making rock images: (1) Removing a portion of the rock surface by pecking and scratching with another stone or tool results in a petroglyph and (2) applying pigments to the rock surface with a brush or other tool results in a pictograph. During the time that Salmon Pueblo was occupied (CE 1088-1285) the Anasazi had experienced many changes in growth and expansion, and their rock art styles reflect those changes. New figure types appear along side older ones. Rigid stylization begins to appear, and there are a greater number of abstract designs such as scrolls, spirals, and concentric circles. Geometric designs of sandals and textiles, as well as pottery motifs, commonly occur. The humped-back flute player (Kokopelli) appears during this period. In earlier basketmaker times, the flute-player is present, but the hump on his back is not depicted. The rectilinear shapes of men and lizards are frequent motifs. Lizards become an important element in late Anasazi art and may represent a supernatural form of ceremonial significance. Lizard Women - the lizard fetish bow here was found on the burned floor of the Tower Kiva." ~ museum display/exhibit, Salmon Ruins, Bloomfield, New Mexico.

This exquisite exterior mosaic tile was made by Malibu Potteries, a ceramic tile manufacturer located on the Rancho Malibu, in California.
The Rancho Malibu had been purchased in 1891 by Fredrick Hastings Rindge and his wife, May. The Rancho was a 22 mile slice of unspoilt paradise bounded by the Malibu Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
In 1926, May Rindge stated the Malibu Potteries. She had discovered that the Rancho was rich in the natural resources, red and buff burning clays, needed to manufacture high-grade ceramic tile. The Potteries, carried a full line of tile for almost every architectural purpose, exterior and interior. The tiles of the Malibu Potteries are among the most beautiful, finely detailed, and well executed pieces of their kind ever manufactured locally. Their production was distinguished by the specialization in reproductions of European hand decorated tiles, specifically designs from the Islamic sacred art tradition of Saracen and Moorish decorative tile. The designs, inspired by Islamic craftsmen, consist of primarily abstract patterns and geometric forms including stylized plant forms. It is not generally known how the Potteries gained access to these designs. It seems that some designs were copied from books while some were obtained from people who traveled in Europe.
The tile was used extensively at the residence of May's daughter, Rhoda Rindge Adamson, for the Adamson Beach House. The architect for the beach house was Stiles Clements of Morgan , Walls and Clements. The Adamson House was designed in a Mediterranean style with authentic Moorish and Spanish details throughout. The house is a masterpiece in the use of architectural decorative tile, also custom-designed for this house. It is used on the exterior and interior and is the dominant motif of the building. It is used for floor coverings, wainscoting, fireplaces, wall and ceiling surfaces, outdoor terraces and fountains, built in benches, the swimming pool and bath house. The designs are numerous and exquisite in their detail, beauty, color, craftsmanship, and variety.
In 1968, the Adamson Beach House and 13 acres of gardens and beaches, now designated on the National Register of Historic Sites as well as the State Register of Historic Places, were acquired by the State of California to add to and expand Malibu Lagoon State Park. The Adamson Beach House serves as the greatest surviving testimony to the artistry of Malibu Potteries' dazzling production.
