Today I was able to collect my current 3D printed head from university.
The photos show the differences between the original and printed piece, and as @leabigot.sculpture said in a previous conversation what I have ended up with is a ghost like memory of the original.
All the textures and scars from working the stone I are gone, what is left is an organic yet alien object.
I also like the little additions to the print, these structures would normally be cut away and discarded, their only use being to support the model while it is printing. In this case I feel they should remain as the help add another dimension to the sculpted piece.
As can be guessed I’m rather excited by these developments as I feel I am on the cusp of something new, a new visual and sculptural language, using technology to add to and make us reevaluate what is in front of us.

I was having a conversation with my friend Ian Rainford, he was saying how he is finding my current explorations really interesting, how I have taken a manufacturing / prototyping technology and have started thinking how I can use it in a fine art sculptural way.
