The Noble Woman is inspired by traditional Roman sculpture and uses a lattice structure as a balance between the internal space and external space of the sculpture. It is an investigation of the boundary between the surface and what supports the sculptural surface. The investigation started with an exploration of how the empty space was used for the lost wax casting in bronze sculpture and how new technology such as 3d printing and lattice structure modeling can be used as an aesthetic part of the sculpture. The broken areas of the sculpture that show the internal structure are carefully crafted to follow the main lines of the face.
Adam's Hand is a sculpture that represents the divine breath of life received by God's hand. It represents the creation of the first man receiving a spark of life. By using an innovative lattice structure and spiral opening as internal support for the 3D printed model in plaster (sandstone) I wanted to show not only the external modeling of the hand but also a mathematical structure evident in the lattice. The sculpture is connected to an alabaster base.
