YoGandhi

Limited Edition of 100.
Currently 68 of 100 editions are available.

This is one of my “Empire Peaks” mash-ups. It's a non-posable edition of my larger sculpture available here available in various materials. It's available here until the 100th 3D print is made. I hand-carved a 36” tall satirical statue of Gandhi mashed with the Jedi master in cedar wood. I had this carving 3D-scanned by a local medical device engineering firm. Since then I’ve worked to make this piece available here on Shapeways. This is an original design I produced from from a block of wood to 3D print.

"YoGandhi" is a combination of quiet, modest leaders of a mass spiritual movements. These small, wise men's inspirations carried massive radical political ramifications. Big, heavy things reside in small, unsuspecting bodies. Their superpowers are more cerebral than material. Technological gadgetry is replaced by attunement to harmony and nature. A simple stick fallen from a tree is the only material object this small being needs to merely prop himself upright and maintain balance.
