Spine Gear

Spine Gear Dimensions: 40″ Diameter X 8″ Deep

A Karl Geckler’s masterpiece, this sculpture is a bold sculptural work-in-progress that fuses organic anatomy with industrial mechanics. Measuring 40” in diameter and 8” deep, this piece reimagines the intricate structure of the human spine within the framework of a mechanical gear, symbolizing the intersection of nature and engineered precision. This sculpture showcases a striking contrast between smooth, polished surfaces and rough, textured areas. The ridged, vertebrae-like forms evoke a sense of movement and rhythm, while the open circular center reinforces themes of continuity and transformation.

Still in progress, this one-of-a-kind sculpture is a testament to Geckler’s mastery of form and concept, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the relationship between human structure and mechanical innovation.
