Ian Schneller & Jessica Rath at Specimen Products
Chipping away the mold form for “Resonant Nest” modular cell structure at Specimen Products, Chicago.
Ian and Jessica about to hoist the “core” out of the eleven-part internal plug mold for “Nectar”‘s nest… a 19th century technology to capture the bee’s vessel like forms uninterrupted by seams necessary with modern molds. Each cast from the mold represents a cell in a human-scaled bumblebee nest. Mold ships to LA this Fall for casting.
