Artist Wieki Somers has found an immediately affecting, not-just-a-little eerie medium in which to explore the crossroads of technological innovation and newness with the human and the old: She runs human ashes through a 3D printer, typically juxtaposing animals and appliances.
The above sculpture, “The Weight of a Honeycomb,” places a bee and its honeycomb on a scale, symbolizing the ‘weighing’ the traditional values of diligence and hard work, and uses the ashes of a woman named Pieterje Vos.
