The geometry of this sculpture is based on the Buckminsterfullerene (also known as a Buckyball), a spherical molecule consisting of 60 carbon atoms. The resemblance of this molecule to geodesic domes led it to be named after the dome's inventor, Buckminster Fuller. Some of the earliest images of this structure, known to mathematicians as a truncated icosahedron, date back to the 15th century, but it was described already over 2000 years ago by Archimedes. It came as a big surprise when in 1985 a new carbon modification (aside from the already known graphite and diamond ones) was discovered: the Buckyball. In this sculpture for the Oregon Food Bank's Learning Garden, I was interested in symbolically representing the connections between nature and culture. The sculpture, almost invisible in its environment, is intimately connected with nature, represented by the group of trees it embraces.
