Description
This is a 3D sculpted and printed work based on scientific images of radiolarians - tiny organisms that can create complicated symmetrical shapes out of minerals for support and protection. The combination of organic and geometric has long fascinated scientists and artists, most famously depicted by Ernst Haeckel, and it represents a major inspiration behind Alexandra's practice.
