Compostela, A Fractal Study of a Shell by Manuel Ferreiro Badía
The NYC Parks Department, as part of its Art in the Parks program, has selected for its installation in Manhattan's Finn Square the sculpture "Compostela, a fractal study of a shell" by Galician artist Ferreiro Badía.
Previously, exhibited in A Coruña (Spain), Cottesloe (Australia) and in California's Napa Valley, the sculpture Compostela Fractal Study of a Shell is a geometric abstraction of the scallop used by pilgrims on their way to Santiago.It is based on origami studies and is composed of broken steel planes that cause the sculpture to change or live with sunlight. It reflects in an abstract way the fractal system of matter, looking for a simplicity that reflects the interior of every being.
Part of the program Art in the Parks from NYC Parks, the installation can be found at Finn Square, in Manhattan.
