Symphasis

By Karen Whiterod 2006
Suspended translucent and light reflecting sculpture. Symphasis suggests the creation of a natural organism. This happens through the collision of separate atoms. It starts with one small section of matter, which joins with several similar sections around a nucleus to make one large building block, this, in turn, joins together with other building blocks to make the spherical form and so the chain could continue.
