Dreamer, 2026, Bronze Edition of 9, 44cm x 63cm x 67cm
I took a hybrid approach to sculpting this piece. The figure was sculpted from life in clay the traditional way. For the base and cables, I 3D scanned my clay sculpture and then sculpted around it in Shapelab in virtual reality. Then 3D printed those components, covered them in clay made some changes and moulded the whole thing before casting it into bronze.
It’s the first time I’ve tried combining 3D scanned clay sculptures into my vr workflow and vice versa. It was super fun and definitely something I’ll do again.
