    Wood scraps.

    Wood cuts are gaps in wood made with a saw. Woodcuts are engravings. /pedant

    P.S.
    Those art works are frikkin' awesome.

    Hey Jesus, can we pretty please get a pic of the cassette tapes one from the non-mindf@$% angle?
    Or if anyone is near the WORM alternative music and film venue in Rotterdam where it's located, please snap a pic of it.

    I'm an absolute fanatic for anything having to do with the early space program, so this guy gets a huge thumbs-up. What's great about it is that the space capsules by nature lend themselves perfectly to his chosen medium. Amazing work. I want that Gemini capsule.

    Mindfcked!

    I mean, I still don't get it. Are those 2D representations made with scraps of doors to look like they are 3D?

    Very impressive! It's just like that guy with the 3D street paintings!

    Only this one is even harder to achieve. I mean, I looked at all pictures and still couldn't tell any of them from 3D...

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: That's what I'm trying to figure out.

    I think a bas-relief is actually three dimensional, but has a very shallow depth of field.

    So they are 3d but just barely?

    If somebody has a better explanation, please do tell.

    @i_pooped_on_: I think they're flat, not reliefs.

    @jeffk: That would make a lot more sense. Thanks!

    I was really trying to figure out how those things were three dimensional.

    So, they are not bas-reliefs.

    How are they not painted? Using wood that is painted still is painted wood.

    Amazing - what do you suppose is recorded on those ridiculously large cassette tapes? Quick, someone grab the elephant-sized tape player out of the jumbo jet storage facility and we can re-live the oldies.

    Truly amazing work. What does he do with them after creating them? I assume they are not decorating the walls of his ginormous home? I agree, Jesus - I would love one of these, too.

    If I had to guess, the sphere guy would have to do with discrete energy states, and, um, exploding balls of string.

    The curvy lines between two sticks is obviously some sort of energized particle system within an infinite potential well. I have a notebook full of little sketches like that in a closet somewhere.

    Though I imagined a boson as being ‘stringy’ I don’t think it would be quite so intricate. Pretty, but it doesn’t fit into my idea of the sub-atomic realm. I will continue to hope for an artist to bring the world of’ infinitely small’ to life in sculpture, the way Brian Green brings it to life with words. #quantumsculptures
