My World: Exploding bubble (the sculpture)

[Michael Nagel]

I showed this sculpture within another context, but recently I was just there for fun, here are a few results.


Overview:

Michael,

This sculpture really impressed me the first time you introduced it here.

I was moved so much by the seemingly simple form that is at once a room, a world, a hand and a womb with a man outside! I wish I had the facility to make such beautiful surfaces. It's a real treat to have these new images.

Thanks,

Asher

Asher,

Thanks. The sculpture is interesting enough to pass there from time to time.

Michael,

The making of this beautiful form fascinates me. It's a major challenge! Few companies have the skills to do this. Although I could imagine this being printed in an industrial 3D printer and then hand polished!

I am not quite sure if a 3-D printed version using actual technology would be good enough in a longer term...

Last batch including the one posted in the X10 thread (all taken using the X10).

Who is the artist? It reminds me of Anish Kapoor, but I suspect it's not.

Hi Chris,

The artist is Christopher Klein, more in this post.
A little more discussion in this thread.

Best regards,

Ah cool Michael, thank you. I've never heard of Klein, but what a great intro!
