Baraka by Richard Slee

Baraka from Arabic means a spiritual power believed to be possessed by certain people or objects. 

The sculpture is an amalgamation of possible mechanical and organic forms capturing the semblance of a meteorite, planet, or an engineered fabrication. 

By stretching, transforming, and reconfiguring material properties I look to create numerous unique building blocks for a faux universe.

The sculpture emits its own light, evoking an energy source unknown.
