"Whirled White Web"
This sculpture is a 3-fold symmetrical whirl of twisted and
stretched saddle shapes.
Such saddles occur naturally in soap films that are spanning warped
wire frames;
such "minimal surfaces" are nature's way of creating strength in
delicate structures.
Our sculpture uses these natural ideas to create an intricate network
of ribs and
internal spaces suspended from a web of three mutually interwoven
double loops.
