3D Printed Plastic
Dimensions vary
Edition: 10
The Rabbit In The Hat Trick is a 3D Printed series of 21 sculptures showing the gradual disintegration of the “Stanford Bunny.” The form of this bunny is considered a benchmark in 3D scanning calibration and testing. Using the 3D scanner and printing technologies the piece explores how the form can be persuaded to degrade and succumb to entropy. Each Rabbit is numbered and the set comes with a certificate of authenticity.
