Created from NASA’s topological data, this Mini Mars artwork was made to show all the mountains, valleys and craters. CNC cut in sections and then assembled, the imagery of Mars courtesy of NASA’s MRO mission was then painstakingly hand painted onto its surface.

The artwork was 6.8million times smaller than the actual planet. See Luke’s far larger touring sculpture of Mars here: www.my-mars.org

Mini Mars was made in collaboration with The Factory of Knowle West Media Centre in Bristol.
