Abstract

Balancing Cloud I is part of the Balancing Cloud series and is based on found Scholar Rocks. Scholar Rocks are highly sought-after artifacts in Asian culture. In Japanese Culture, suiseki (水石)or in Chinese Gongshi (供石), both have in common that they are found rocks placed in a crafted base. The complementary human craft amplifies the natural beauty of the rocks. Their shapes are the result of millennia of natural erosion and slow transformation juxtaposing the fleeting notion of the man-made artifact. Together their geometrical and narrative complexities form a microcosm for human reflection and interpretation. Balancing Cloud is made from two natural Yingde rocks excavated in the Guangzhou region of Southern China. The rock is held in a base that forms around the 3D-scanned rock. The base is a stainless steel, 3D printed using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). The rock floats above the base, held by a series of tendril-like extensions
