WORLDMAKING MAKING WORLDS: FORM becomes MATTER With the advent of Rapid Prototyping technologies the fabrications of my virtual world have become a physical and tangible reality: I have realized sculptural and functional models with stereolithography, laser cutting, 3d printing and selective laser sintering. My models all share the intent of making FORM an expression of FUNCTION, whether cosmological concepts or investigations of forms in nature. The morphological expressions are derived from geometric forms of special significance in the world of nature: spirals, hexagons, helices. They are explored as 3d digital models and then scaled and dimensioned according to function and material; e.g. the spiral inspired by the form of a galaxy becomes a landform, a tattoo, a plate, a tattoo or an earring. Paraphrasing Ernesto Roger's "From the Spoon to the City", in my WORLDMAKING collection the designer's medium has been expanded “from the earring to the galaxy”. The functional art collections include, wearables lighforms and housewares The creative and production process behind each object is also available as archival print or limited edition video.
