Endless Spline

3D printed object inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s ”Endless Column”, mythology and fairy tales.

Examples:

For instance the English fairly tale “Jack and the Beanstalk.” The beanstalk is reminiscent of the ancient Northern European belief in a world tree connecting Earth to Heaven.

The biblical tale of Jonah closes rather abruptly with the hero resting under a fast-growing gourd (Hebrew קיקיון (qiyqayown).

During the Renaissance, the humanist artist Albrecht Dürer memorialised Jerome’s courage to dissent in his famous woodcut Saint Jerome in His Study featuring a dried gourd hanging from the rafters.
