Hinrichs's shapes are Buckyball variants. One of the fun / weird mathematical properties of the Buckyball shape is that you can split it into two halves and insert rings of hexagons in the middle, like in the upper right object. You can keep doing this pretty much forever, making incredibly long, flexible tubes with round caps on the ends.

Wow that's amazing. And of course the brilliant wordplay of sum/summer opens the door to the fascinating world of obscure math concepts, which will give this work a universality that is apparent to every culture and every age.

Much like Da Vinci's "man" thingy, these artworks are beautiful. I will post these pictures on my mantelpiece and pass them on down thru the generations. Millions of postcards will be made of this, too.

Hey here's an idea! Why not take the concept of elongated, droopy shapes of otherwise normal looking things ... and apply it to other stuff...I dunno like maybe watches or something! They would look all melting and stuff!

Wow this whole idea of normal things with abnormal shapes. You could even like take normal things like little pencils and make them like way bigger than usual!

Teh genius we are being shown is stunning.

You really need to see Canadian artist Tom Dean's "Excerpts from a Description of the Universe" (1988), because that's all I could see at Baxter's show....

Yes I think Heide and I are pleased with the show. Our work is very different yet contains parallels of I certain amount of simplicity, air in the body of hope, and the language of precious vs. discarded.
