Great art. How did he do it. Thanks for showing.
Where do artists get their ideas??? Really amazing!
You're right -- brilliant. And so is the second photo.
Interesting... I can't imagine creating something so intricate only to have it dismantled....
That's fascinating, sort of a Buddhist meditation on impermanence. What would happen if you poked your finger hard into the center? I can't imagine how the artist got this to stay together until ha had made at least one full circle.
Incredible. Stretches the imagination just looking at it.
Oh no I can't imagine such a work of art being dismantled and becoming a pile of coffee stirrers again.No no no this is wrong!
Can't people place bids to purchase the whole artwork?
Now that works as art!
