Möbius Ship: An Un-Ending Sculptural Tribute: With a title and form that wittily plays on the puzzling and unending surface of a Möbius strip, artist Tim Hawkinson has created a bizarrely continuous model in the likeness of ship-in-bottle hobbyists. His hanging sculpture takes it’s inspiration from the story of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, interpreting Captain Ahab’s consuming passion of chasing the illusive white whale by creating a ship that chases itself in an impossible loop.

You can find more works by Tim Hawkinson, including his must see ship like Aerial Mobile at the US spanning Ace Gallery.
