Hundreds of years ago ancient marble sculptures which had been found damaged and in pieces were restored with new appendants. Replacing with replicated envisagement’s of the original.
Later the restorations were regarded as hiding the original craft and intention . The new parts were removed and often left work fragmented revealing the early work.
3D Scanning reconstructs original artefacts through digital and traditional techniques produce new artefacts that are close to, But not quite a facsimile of the original.
I embrace the blurring of identity, exploiting the subtle adjustments. Brought throughout digital recording. Using traditional ceramic techniques, I record the stages of the digital processes in my own making, from virtual vectors to tangible traditional ceramic techniques.
The final artefacts are hybrids of ancient and modern culture and techniques as they are altered in translation and take on new contemporary personalities.
