Description

It is in the Nasher Sculpture Center.[3] The sculpture refers to bones, which Moore collected.[4]

Each of the forms, although different, has the same basic shape. Just as in a backbone which may be made up of twenty segments where each one is roughly like the others but not exactly the same…This is why I call these sculptures Vertebrae. The two or three forms are basically alike but are arranged to go with each other in different positions. The sculptor’s life is one of thinking, reacting, or making, expressing himself through form, through shape – for me the three-dimensional world is unending.[5]

gollark: You get more total energy as temperature goes up, and it's concentrated at different wavelengths.
gollark: Ah, it looks like Planck's law is what the graph is showing.
gollark: > If you make the temperature higher, then the frequency increases. No, you keep ignoring me on this.> Thus meaning the amount of photons emited is related/proportional to the temperature increasing.Also no, the amount is a different thing.
gollark: Also wrong, objects emit multiple frequencies at once and the relationship is more complex than that.
gollark: The energy is a property of the photon similarly to frequency and stuff, the energy doesn't have frequency either, but can I just say that trying to brute-force your way to coherent-sounding wording is not a path to great understanding.
