3D Printed Art Inspired by James Webb Space Telescope

Art is always inspired by something - a feeling, an event, a muse. So what can artists come up with when their given muse is a large, technologically advanced telescope?

While all of the chosen artists were easily inspired by the telescope and what it represents, Shapeways community member Ashley Zelinskie, whose artwork we've enjoyed before, took the project a step further and used 3D printing to create her original artwork - a modern technology, being used to create art based on a new piece of technology that will be used to look back into the history of our galaxy.
