Space Between

Space Between is an exploration of the inherent sculptural qualities of 3D printing, and how those can be utilized to evoke topographies while representing images photographically. You'll see experimentation as I work to find the settings that give me the right balanace of detail, not-taking-forever-to-print, opacity, and tangibility. The overall installation will be built into a wall, with backlit 3D pieces broken up along city roadway lines, representing the space between buildings, people, lives, and cities. Viewed as a whole, the images read as intertwined human forms, separated by smaller and greater distances, their parts forming a glowing starscape on the wall. Ideally. Hopefully. We'll see how the mockups progress.
