Look

Look carefully and see if you can work out how this object was made, and what material it is made of?

Think

What do you think about this artwork: do you like it? Does it remind you of anything?

Do

It is amazing to think that this sculpture is one continuous form. If you follow its twists and turns carefully you will see it only has one side. This is known as a Mobius Strip.
