This sculpture is an homage to Friedrich Froebel, who was the founder of the modern kindergarten in 1838. He designed basic geometric forms (sphere, cube, cylinder, pyramid) for children to play with, believing it would increase their ability to think abstractly. Learning that Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller played with these as children stimulated me to create Broken Cube (pictured on left) an asymetric geometric form, and use it as a module for building large structures.
