Heartistic Science
Frank is an artist, sculptor and geometrician who lives in San Francisco and has taught art for more than thirty years. Since encountering the work of Rudolf Steiner, Frank has been exploring the relation between form and spirit and in 2000 he discovered a new geometric form never seen before. This geometric form demonstrates a remarkable correlation to the form and functioning of the human heart. Frank is uncovering indications concerning the relationship between etheric formative forces and the geometry, structure, and physiology of the human heart. Thus the form is called the Chestahedron, both after its discoverer and because the form relates to the geometry of the heart, which sits in the chest.
