"This piece is based not upon rectangular prisms nor on tetrahedral lattices but upon modular units made up of components of the rhomboidal dodecahedron. There is a connection with the tetrahedral structures, however, in that the rhomboidal surfaces of this figure are the same as the sections of the others."

From Tony Smith: Two Exhibitions of Sculpture. Hartford, CT and Philadelphia, PA: Wadsworth Atheneum and Institute of Contemporary Art, 1966
