We won an award at a national show,  COOL exhibit at South Shore Art Center!
It’s a great place for the HedgeCone to be!

What do I do with the money? Award money is very different from earned money.
It’s luminous and weightless.
It doesn’t smell like sweat and labor.
It can’t be just boringly spent …

What shall I do with the prize money?

HedgeCone arrives in pieces to the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, Mass to be a part of a COOL National Show!
The OPENING RECEPTION is: Friday, November 8, 6–8 pm.
119 Ripley Road • Cohasset • MA 02025

This cinematographic marvel depicts its assembly on the spot by the entire team.

The MMORPH safely arrived to the Nave Gallery Annex for the Science and Art Mash Up.

It went through a series of deep transformations.

It was a nice ride!

MMORPH completed two full transformations at Uforge, from the Azure to the Meconozaurus to the Rook.

Many new cards acquired, two new Mecons added – not bad…

Sccissaurus Tetrius is the smallest and, well, the simplest member of the Shear Insanity family.

Deutilizing commonplace objects, Sccissaurus Tetrius comprises nothing but 12 scissors. Self-locked and self-sustaining.

This amazing sculpture has been waiting for us on our way from New Jersey to Boston. Its half-circles are connected in an absolutely wonderful way!

For about twenty years we have been passing Hartford, and never stopped there. Well, we did this time, we went to a Bushnell Park and immediately found a perfect #Sphericon sculpture in the middle of a small Lily Pond.
Now I have no choice but make one of these on Shapeways as an addition to my ‘rollers’ collection.

Building a Uforge Mecon started with inner skin having Uforge cards in visible spots. When enough cards has been collected in the box at the gallery, the outer skin was added with the cards visible. Then the MMORPH was transformed into a rook shape.

Today I tried a simple tetrahedral arrangement of 12 Irwin Universal 880 Jack saws.
Saws proved to be the best – they bend as springs and hold the shape together well. Sleeves will be kept in place until I find a good way to connect without plastic bolts. Then the piece will have its final look.

Things are becoming more and more clear. Nothing should be left to assumption. If you present an actual object and also photographs of it, the connection must be clearly defined by you. Nobody is responsible to figure that out.
The reception at Uforge went really well otherwise. The idea of the participation in the MMORPH project is getting some serious support.
