Finish - wax polish.

A piece that was first related to a theme that has long fascinated me - the relationship between mathematical forms and sculpture. This is loosely based on a Lissajous figure,  which is obtained by combining two or more sine waves at varying phases and frequencies.   The Lissajous figures can take an infinite variety of  beautiful forms and movements in time and space.

This abstract is an attempt to  combine the mathematical purity of a simple  Lissajous figure with the strong   grain pattern of  the elm wood - which, like all woods, is  highly variable in the log.
 
 

A movie  (350Kb) is available for this sculpture which gives a better three-dimensional impression.
