‘planet’ by marc quinnimage courtesy gardens of the bay
in 2008, british artist marc quinn created ‘planet’, one of three sculptures which were informed by highly personal, family moments with a permanent installation recently unveiled at singapore’s gardens by the bay. the immense artwork is a seven month old sleeping child fabricated from painted bronze and steel, designed to give the impression of being weightless and suspended in mid-air – despite the fact it weighs seven tons and 10 metres in length, rendering it an engineering feat. the three pieces – ‘planet’, ‘innoscience’ and ‘lucas’ – collectively depict the history of his son in early childhood, including peculiar details – such as a chemically developed formula used in his son’s diet to communicate his violent allergy towards cow’s milk, was incorporated into the polymer clay used in the crafting of ‘innoscience’.
