Henrik Menné

I've become an instant fan of Danish artist Henrik Menné. His sculptures have a poetry that is often missing in technology-based art. He seems to have something in common with Tim Hawkinson and Olafur Eliasson.

Description of 75P from the kunstdk.dk website:

The machine is an iron construction on which a small rotating iron disk is mounted. Onto this rotating disk, small drops of hot wax are poured. The rotating disk swirls the drops creating a shape on the floor. The rotating disk is 15 centimetres in diameter and placed 80 cm above the floor. With these measurements, the drops will create a shape of approximately 1 m in diameter. After a few days, the wax will have created a thin cone-shaped shell.
