balancing blocks


This set of building blocks was my last project from winter quarter.  The angled edges of the blocks make it necessary to counterbalance them using the dowels in order to make them stand up.  The structures that result are sensitively dependent on each block - removing just one can upset the balance and make the whole thing fall down.

colorful, clever and delicate! What beautiful surreal objects in space they create. Makes me want to PLAY!
