This piece is inspired by a class of mathematical objects known as minimal surfaces. This a more complicated form consisting of a catenoid (like a nuclear cooling tower) pierced by a horizontal plane and pierced from each sides by 3 holes. Because of this amazing geometry, the structure has only 2 sides that I chose to accentuate by bleaching one surface. Wall thickness for the entire structure including the piercing holes is 1/8". Pictures cannot really capture the piece, it begs to be interacted with.
