“The inhabitants
Revere and preserve the things
That fall from the sky”
Haiku by Alistair Gentry
An object of desire coming from the stars. Sideroid Azimuth has a double soul: an artistic arti-
fact and a container of precious items. Based on the scan of a real meteorite found in “Sikho-
te-Alin” impact site and then printed in 3d, the volume of the meteorite (Siderite iron) is seg-
mented and encapsulated in a block of resin. Like a fossil, silent witness to another dimension.
Materials: coffer made of two transparent yellow resin blocks. 3d printed ABS half-meteorite
immersed in the resin blocks with flocked black inner surfaces. Metalware in matt gold finishing.
Dimensions (W x D x H): 28cm x 18cm x 11cm
