“Blooming” Fibonacci Zoetrope Sculptures by John Edmark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Edmark’s “Blooming” Fibonacci is a beautiful floral display of 3D fabrication. His series is beautiful and inspiring. The amount of detail is truly spectacular to see in a 3D fabrication. Edmark has several pieces similar to the one below, each magical and awe-inspiring. According to the artist, the piece was inspired by the golden angle: everything is synchronized explicitly to the rate as the sculpture turns 137.5 degrees. Every petal is placed at a particular length from the center. It gives the appearance of petals moving: shifting outwards and shrinking at the corners. The 3D model spins at 550 RPMs and is videotaped at 24-frames-per-second. This creates a repeating optical effect. His artwork is special because it mimics phyllotaxis, the geometric arrangement of leaves on a plant stem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
