Locknesters explore the way recognizable figures can be created from a group of abstract, unconventional geometries. Created by Fleet Hower, they range in scale from several inches to several feet, and in complexity from as few as three to over one hundred pieces. Locknesters explore intricacy and how the features of a figure can interact with the division lines of adjoining pieces. They also explore layering and the way divisions can make new patterns on the surface of a figure. Locknesters are made in Hower’s Brooklyn studio, this keeps the design and production process closely tied.
