Untitled Quasicrystal Sculpture
Tony Robbin (2004)
Untitled Quasicrystal Sculpture suggests the structure of a gigantic, 300 pound molecule. In fact, Quasicrystal refers to a relatively new branch of crystallography, which is the study of atomic and molecular structure. Tony Robbin explains, “My work uses a new geometry taken from science and mathematics to create structures with new visual properties appearing to change shape as one passes by on foot.” Much like a kaleidoscope, as you move closer to or father away from the work, its configuration seems to magically transform. To date, Untitled Quasicrystal Sculpture is Robbin’s only public art on view in the world.
