ArtistAdam Parker Smithruns classical sculpture through a trash compactor in his new series of works titledCrush.
The six sculptures take well-known classical forms and squish them into one cubic meter.
In doing so, he was able to render these masterpieces of Hellenistic andBaroquesculpture in a 3D modeling program.
The sculptures are fascinating as they sit on their pedestals.
As now-tiny forms, each sculpture gives something new when viewed from different angles.
This is true across the board.
Squeezed into cubes, these classical pieces elicit a different response.
ForCrush, artist Adam Parker Smith compressed six well-known classical sculptures into cubes.
Smith rendered each original sculpture in 3D and condensed it into a cube.
The compressed figures were then sculpted in Carrara marble.
