TGGM, 2026 (Teal, Green, Gold, Magenta)

5-Point Star Series

3-D printed polymer with metal fitting

Kinetic Motion

Artist Proof from a limited-edition TBD

Height 15 inches, length and width 8 ½ inches


In TGGM, Jeffrey Laudenslager transforms the familiar five-point star into a complex spatial form composed of a single, continuous loop of material. Rendered in vibrant teal, green, gold, and magenta, the sculpture twists and folds through space, creating a dynamic interplay between geometry, color, and movement. The work appears to defy a fixed beginning or end, inviting the viewer’s eye to travel endlessly along its uninterrupted path and it turns with the slightest touch or breath of air.


Part of Laudenslager’s ongoing Star Series, which also includes 7-, 9-, and 11-point variations, the sculpture explores how simple geometric systems can generate surprising complexity. Each star is constructed from one continuous strand, emphasizing connection, continuity, and transformation. As the piece moves, the shifting perspectives reveal new alignments and relationships, making the form appear to change while remaining fundamentally the same.


The series presents what can be described as an “ubiquitous point of view”—a perspective that exists everywhere at once and cannot be fully grasped from a single vantage point. By combining mathematical precision with sculptural elegance, TGGM encourages contemplation of infinity, interconnectedness, and the multiple ways we perceive and understand the world around us.

The Philosopher’s Stone I, 2026

3-D printed polymer with metal fitting

Dichroic glass

Kinetic sculpture

Artist Proof from a limited-edition TBD

Height 17 inches, length and width 8 ½ inches


In The Philosopher’s Stone I, Deanne Sabeck draws inspiration from one of history’s most enduring alchemical symbols: the legendary substance believed to transform base metals into gold. Combining 3-D printed polymer, metal fittings, and shimmering dichroic glass, the sculpture unites ancient mystical concepts with contemporary materials and technology. Its kinetic elements introduce movement and change, allowing light and perspective to continually reshape the viewer’s experience.


The work references the geometric foundations of alchemical thought. Beginning as early as the

third century, alchemists associated the circle, square, and triangle with the harmonies required to achieve transformation. Sabeck incorporates these symbolic forms into a dynamic composition that suggests balance, convergence, and the possibility of metamorphosis. The iridescent qualities of the dichroic glass further evoke the shifting states of matter and perception central to alchemical practice.


Beyond the quest for material riches, the Philosopher’s Stone came to represent a deeper

journey of spiritual refinement. For philosophers and esoteric practitioners, the transformation of lead into gold symbolized the elevation of human consciousness—turning ignorance into wisdom and imperfection into enlightenment. Sabeck’s sculpture invites viewers to reflect on this timeless pursuit, presenting transformation not as a destination but as an ongoing process of growth, discovery, and self-realization.
