From the Art Inventory site:
"Created from a 21 ton block and a 13 ton block of marble. The larger piece is an organic form resting on 4 points with a hole near the top. It appears to be generated from or expanded out the top. The small piece is longitudinal with 4 protrusions at the end closest to the larger form.
2 parts. Part I: approx. 8 x 9 x 4 ft.; Part II: approx. 3 1/2 x 3 x 6 ft."
They make me think of those energy blobs that would do battle or chase people on the old Outer Limits TV show, except that these have more pleasing colors. Those were scary but these look more friendly.
