Art From Dice and Rubix Cubes

I just came across these amazing sculptures by British sculptor 

Tony Cragg. 

They're quite beautiful on their own, but when it hits you that they're actually made of dice... well it just boggles the mind 

(no pun intended).

I can't begin to imagine how many dice went into these, or how it was done. It's certainly nothing that I'd have the patience for! What I love about them is that that objects that are hard and square can be put together to make something that appears soft and fluid.

One can't help wonder if there is a rhyme or reason to which numbers are showing.

 

And then we have Pete Facteau who turned three dimensional Rubix Cubes into a two dimensional pixel art mosaic of Dr. Martin Luther King. Pretty cool!
