This sculpture from Stephen Hendee's Firmament series is a striking fusion of digital precision and material experimentation. Hendee constructs the work through a meticulous 3D modeling process, followed by laser-cutting cast acrylic and multiple stages of physical manipulation. By intuitively balancing geometric forms, iridescent surfaces, and liquid plastic textures, he explores the tension between entropy and permanence, as well as the implied promise of a virtual cultural memory.
