3D Printed ABS on Alabaster Base

The Noble Woman is inspired by traditional Roman sculpture and uses a lattice structure to balance the internal and external space of the sculpture. It investigates the boundary between the surface and what supports the sculptural surface. The investigation started with exploring how the space was used for the lost wax casting in bronze sculpture and how new technology, such as 3d printing and lattice structure modeling, can be used as an aesthetic part of the sculpture. The broken areas of the sculpture that show the internal structure are carefully crafted to follow the main lines of the face.
