This sculpture appears to be two entirely different things at two different angles.

It says "It looks like the cube is standing on the table by itself, but it's not". Correct.....because it's not a cube. It's all about angles. I did the same thing with the Leaning tower of Piza- I came out looking very destructive.....Godzilla like even.

I really like the "Cube - Not Cube". It's amazing. I would like to be able to be inside the mind of a person who can do such things. First the idea has to come, then figuring out how to do it, the actually doing it!
Frustrating that we are not capable of mapping the brain truly. I think the efforts we actually come up with, although amazing in themselves, also appear to be like asking a very young, "gifted" child to draw something such as this.
