Ceramicist Uses Science To Create Sculptures Inspired By Nature

NYC-based artist Sabri Ben-Achour uses the forces of nature, science, and Japanese aesthetics as inspiration to create distinctive ceramics. One of his art styles includes using magnets to manipulate clay into spindly sculptures. Many of his pieces are also coated in an overglaze made of real gold.

2:20 OMG i want it so bad

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

Good sculptures!!! This is an invitation to see a theory on the nature of time! In this theory we have an emergent uncertain future continuously coming into existence relative to the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. The future is unfolding with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment relative to the atoms of the periodic table and the wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is part of a universal process of energy exchange that forms the ever changing world of our everyday life.

[@dioxidan1395]

God, you sound like my physics teacher...

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

[@edwardw7965]

There is a saying in Fengshui: sharp tip decorations are not good in house, because it brings more unpleasant relationship and more quarrel.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Not science but laws of nature. I felt like being a smart ass.

[@cedeelbe]

The Laws of Nature are pretty scientific tho

[@777guy1]

cedeelbe no they are not they are just things. It would be like saying a coin is pretty economic

[@eidolor]

Rather, it is through science that we come to try and better understand those laws.

[@Arcae95]

cedeelbe more like a dumb ass... one the laws of nature they are founded or defined by the scientific method and is perfectly resonable for the layman to say its science. Two he uses the scientific method to creat the techniques he uses.

[@ashnafatima2537]
