Description
3D scan technology has been at the heart of my practice for the last 13 years translating human beings into sculptures. After the scan, the data is 3D printed and then moulded with silicon to produce a negative from to pour 30 kg of sugar to be then preserved by painstaking techniques to protect them from the elements.
Additional information
Conceptually these works come from the Buddhist principle of attachment. I want the material in this case, the sugar to be a metaphor for the conscious state of the audience and the human figure depicted in the sculpture. It’s as if when your consciousness is filled with desire then everything you desire becomes sugar, becomes sticky, becomes sensory information—no matter if it’s a person, an object, or even a thought.
