I am a sculptor that uses traditional clay modeling techniques and digital emerging technologies to create life-size figures that combine the human body with symbols and patterns from nature. The figures are cast in plaster or bronze, 3D printed or routed out of wood with a CNC.
For this project of CNC-ed oak, I abstracted the body down to a single board and used patterns energetically to represent the figure: a hand resting over the head, the breasts circular like tree rings; the feet become a vibrating force as they reach toward the earth.
I made the drawing by hand and then entered the drawing into the computer software system that controls the CNC router that then sculpted the board.

For the torso, I digitally sculpted in lines inspired from topographical maps. The work was then 3D printed and hand painted.
