“Infinite Hope,” Swarovski Crystal Jesus Christ by Quinn Gregory
Called Infinite Hope and made by Quinn Gregory this sculpture has exactly the size of Jesus, (5’3”). It is primarily made of wood, foam and 250,000 Swarovski crystals. The sculpture took 4 ½ months to take shape of 5’3” skeleton in copper and then painting the same in metallic paint to give a metal look while avoiding the weight of a metal sculpture.
I am a simple person with simple beliefs. I don’t think religion should be about exclusion- I believe all religions should be based on unconditional love and learning to understand and co-exist with all of our neighbors (even when their beliefs vary significantly from our own). It should not matter what anyone’s particular faith is- in my simple way of thinking, my “religion” gives me
INFINITE HOPE in this life and in the after-life.

[...] Dutch designer Tomáš Gabzdil Libertiny has made a this sculpture of Jesus that was completed by bees. He erected a sealed glass container with his mold inside. Over the course of the fair, 40 000 worker bees were released into the case to complete a wax honeycomb structure over the figure of a martyred christ rising out of the chaos, his weight seeming to be upheld by the mass strength of the swarm. The figure within the vitrine is made of a laser sintered framework in which the industrious bees created a honeycomb skin over before filling each cell with the honey they produce. Then bees worked to remove the honey from the cells and return it to the beehive, cleaning the figure back to the wax cells they originally created.
