Sculpture #2

Here is my second attempt at a sculpture.

The only use of a computer to plan this sculpture was to determine the size of the circles for the cross section of the spirals, and to work out the placement of each on top of the next. For this purpose, I used a “Minecraft circle generator” to work out the pixels. The rest of the design was done without a computer, and without a drawing.

When I first started making sculptures, I thought I would just need loads and loads of 2×4 bricks. It turns out that this sculpture uses 1×4, 1×6 and 2×4 in exactly equal proportions for the spirals.

My wife tells me that I have too much Lego. I can now prove that I don’t, because I’ve run out of 2×4 bricks in yellow.
