Do you know what, for example, a lunar rover looks like? Or the Hubble telescope? Or any other technology operated by deep space explorers? If you saw it, then only in pictures, which, alas, cannot convey all the power and greatness of this technique. Sculptor Peter Hennessey from Australia, however, has already challenged this injustice, and is working on a whole series of "space" sculptures. The master made the same Hubble telescope and the Lunar Rover lunar rover from wood, and not their reduced copies, but full-size, giant sculptures. This work took him about three months.
People who do not have the opportunity to see these huge colossus live simply have no idea how majestic and unique they are, says Peter. And at the exhibition, everyone has the opportunity to imagine what space technology really looks like, to touch it, to look inside, in general, to penetrate.
These wooden sculptures can be seen on the site of the master, Peter Hennessey.
