The exhibited 'Aënna' is the first prototype for an edition of 8, which can be pre-ordered (ready end of July).
Aënna is made with 3D printed recycled plant-based bioplastic and part of a body of work that thinks about relationships between nature, machines and humanity, challenging dualisms of 'natural' and 'artificial'. Beyond the post-industrial, anthropocentric landscape, a series of bioinspired, modular forms sprout in speculative futures, named after asteroid 1155 Aënna it is the first prototype and smallest of a series of sculptures that hybridise memories of an Endless Column* and a Living Pyramid**
*Constantin Brâncuși and Agnes Denes
