| Mobius
Circle – homage
to French mathematician Ferdinan Mobius, is rich in meaning. To
better understand the process of creating this design, imagine a
rubber band that has a triangular, rectangular, or square
cross-section. Cut this rubber band then twist it once and
reconnect. This simple technique turns the three corners of the
triangle into one, or the four corners of the rectangle or
square into two. Because of this interesting transformation, I
call this design the Bridge of Understanding. It could mean
bridging human with human; human with other life forms, or mind
body and spirit. - Mamerto

Double Helix lll
Wood:
Cotton Wood
Size: 62" High
Price:
$4000.00 Like the
Mobius Circle, the Double Helix (DNA) design can be a representation
of the interconnectedness of life. Mamerto Tindongan sees it as
representing the Yin and Yang energy or the Positive and Negative
forces of an atom or the universe. This particular DNA design
evolved after Tindongan finished a Core Grant Program for science
teachers. Instead of becoming a chemistry high school teacher,
Tindongan contently incorporated scientific principles and teaching
methods into his wood art designs. The beauty of this design can be
seen in various angles, either horizontally or vertically. It can
also be a functional piece, like supporting a beam, serving as a
fireplace mantel, or a bench.
