I’m an art student and I find thise cind of sculptures very interesting and they are a good inspiration
Wow these are really interesting, twists and turns as in nature…
So true, about the vagaries of nature.
stunning! very nice
True, and a unique range as well.
I especially like the paper/wood/wire/glue sculptures that sort of twist and twirl. They seem organic, yet embellished beyond what nature might turn out, or maybe just what nature might do on a different scale (microscopic)?
I think you nailed that pretty eloquently!
