DESIGN NAME: Facets
PRIMARY FUNCTION: 3D Print Art Piece
INSPIRATION: My deep inspiration was the monumental Cemetery in Genova, Italy which left a lasting impression since I first discovered it over 20 years ago.
The idea was how to present the beauty and the scope of the sculptures to a wider audience and translate the design language to a more modern appeal.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Facets is an ongoing series of digital and physical sculptures, a contemporary interpretation of memorial sculptures of the Monumental Cemetery in Genova, Italy.
The work explores the tension and equilibrium between form and matter. Using figurative representation and geometric abstraction, Facets is based on previous Topology studies of the sculptures. While referencing emotionally evocative memorial sculpture, the focus of this series shifts from pure figurative representation to the articulation of matter itself. The works combine digital technology with highly crafted traditional sculpting methods to seamlessly produce conceptual objects.
