This is a maquette or model of another organic form destined (hopefully),to be a larger sculpture. Within the context of the sphere and assuming the space between them is uniform throughout,these two elliptical surface shapes have a "Relational Symmetry". Like two twins in a womb their relative shape is designated by each other, thus describing a "spatial intimacy",a fitting theme I think for abstract sculpture.
Welded ,cold formed stainless steel with heat patina in the interstices. Diameter is 2 inch nominal.
This piece is available for purchase.
Please note me for pricing.

It's a model for a larger work I hope to build someday...
I did a whole series of these small models inspired by the Megalithic carved stone balls from Scotland.
very interesting to me.
im usually more of a 'beauty-in-fuctionality' person when i comes to design, but these objects are more than just ornamental embellishments...
Much of the ugliness of current buildings actually has to do with economics and the efficiency of standard units of building materials.
Rectangular units (like plywood)and dimensional lumber sort of insinuate a linear rectangular use.
It's more expensive in a number of ways to make a sinuous curvilinear wall than a flat straight rectangular one.
But we pay a price later on by living in square boxes that cramp our sense of space and alienate our true aesthetic...
anyway, keep up the good work. c:
Oh, and i love the splash of colour!
Stainless is a most curious metal to work with.
It looks almost as if the inner section was made from bronze.
I still think it needs to be mounted on a little rotating turntable and shot in a 10 sec video to get the full visual disclosure of the shape.
Not sure if DA can download that kind of thing but I know my camera can shoot in that mode,and tiny little battery operated display turntables are readily available...I may just have to experiment.
I'm thinking this whole series of organic forms in various sphere shapes could be the most marvelous doorknobs...I mean they're sooo incredible tactile...
