Original Graphics, signed and numbered, 2006/7.
How variously and vividly the golden section can be shown is demonstrated in
this graphic arts series executed in 2006. Four squares following on each other,
whose side lengths comparatively decrease by the golden section, are agilely
connected on the corners. The relative twist corner between two squares following
on each other is steady. In a series of eight graphics the respective stations
are shown in steps of 45°.

W hen an isosceles triangle of any height is constructed on a line segment, we obtain according to our drawing an extension of the golden section via the diagonal of the rectangle with sides corresponding to two different sides of the triangle.
As we have a free variable we obtain an infinite number of possible constructions for the golden section.
On the last sheet the triangle is 'degenerated' to a line and a centre and corresponds to the customary classical construction.
Conclusion: When we construct a triangle using three congruent rectangles of any size, we obtain according to our drawing the extension of the golden section. This also works the upright way, reversing the sides!
