Every spring, I make pollen and viruses. Something in the air, I guess. Their forms are so basic and allergies and illnesses are a seasonal reminder of the cycle of life.
So, I am starting a series of pollen/virus paper vessels. The first one has dried nicely, so now I will risk the time and effort to make some more complicated forms, based more closely on the mathematical structures (dodecahedrons and icosahedrons) of many viruses. I love to build with triangles, and viruses do too.
Here’s an image of the first non-functional half-virus bowl almost dry and accommodating my love of dramatic lighting.
Enjoy.
