I’m in love with a tetrahedral kite…
Heather and Ivan Morison’s Little Shining Man is work of art that can fly. Built from carbon fiber and a 3D-printed joint system, it draws inspiration from the crystal structure of pyrite and Alexander Graham Bell’s tetrahedral kites. Here, the artists take one cube of the three-part sculpture for a spin in St. Aubin’s Bay, in a beautiful video by James O’Garra. Little Shining Man was commissioned by Dandara and made in collaboration with Queen + Crawford, a design and fabrication studio, and Sash Reading, an architectural designer.
