Lissajous Wave Star & Lissajous Wave Ring
Tom Grimsey
A major interative public sculpture commissioned for the Telegraph Museum in Porthcurno, Cornwall. Grimsey draws on studies of a wave form analysed in depth by Jules Lissajous and, following rigorous experimentation to conform with health and safety laws, visitors can engage with the sculpture, climbing around and inside it.
