Sculpture
Construction Workshop
at East Carolina University
I visited
East Carolina University
in April, 2017 and worked with students and faculty there to
create
this one-of-a-kind sculpture, made from sixty identical,
laser-cut, fluourescent-acrylic components.
Building it was a group activity involving many hands for over an
hour.
Each piece has this same shape.
Small cable ties hold the parts together.
Along the way, we tested it for style.
Here is it complete, after snipping the ends off all the cable
ties.
Thank you to everyone who participated, especially Sviatoslav
Archava who invited me,
Gerald Weckesser who did the laser-cutting, and Cliff Hollis / ECU
for many of the above photos.
You can read an article about this geometric sculpture
construction workshop on the
ECU
website.
The design is based on my sculpture
Ambagesque,
but modified for this scale and the acrylic material.
To make your own copy, cut
this template
from five panels of 12×24-inch acrylic and build
this
structure.
While I was there, we also made this wood sculpture, called
Autumn.
More information and instructions for making it are given
here.
