As I write this series of posts I wonder more about how much help even receptive viewers need with contemporary sculpture. This piece at Laumeier is called Sugabus, a 2004 work by Robert Chambers. It refers to the arrangement of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a molecule of sucrose. Well, and also Cerberus, the terrifying three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. Are there three heads? Is there a diet version?

Odd, but I like it.
I remember going to Laumeier many years ago and enjoying all the sculptures. I like this one and the one you posted yesterday.
I immediately thought of some molecular structure, but missed the mythical one.
