I took this photo back in September and I framed it so it looked like some alien object had landed near Camelback Mountain.
I was going to post it on my blog but I realized I didn't have a full perspective on it and I needed to go back and get another photo so you could see this object in full after viewing it as an alien.
I finally managed to do that when I visited the Shemer Art Center a week ago.
This is a 3D printed sculpture called "Debutante" by artist Kevin Caron.
The description says it is 3D printed Ryno & PLA Pearls. I looked that up to see what it meant. I couldn't find anything called "ryno" but I found something called "Rhino" that has to do with 3D graphics. PLA Pearls is described as a polyester blend filament.
I may have read the researched descriptions but actually, I really don't understand it. I think I'd have to watch a 3D printer in action to gain a better understanding. I've always been visual learner.
It still looks like something alien, doesn't it?

That object has a unique surface and curves
My local library has a 3-D printer running, you can bring in a program and they will run it. I have no idea how the designs are made.
It reminds me of tulips poking out of the ground. The 3-D stuff is way over my head, Sharon.
It does look very alien! I like the silvery sheen. It's fascinating how computers have enabled new kinds of art.
It's all about perspective and POV, isn't it?
Yes, it does look a piece of outer space. : )
It's an interesting shape, reminds me of a squid.
Wow, top photo is a winner. Alien it is.
fwiw, some info re: Ryno… filament
