New Fordist Sculpture

Author: Ana S. Lemnaru

An easy-to-use construction technique, involving the conversion of a three dimensional form created in Blender (a 3D modelling software) to a flat vector shape, that can be printed, cut and folded in order to be assembled back together in real space.

Shapes that have a high complexity level can be divided into component parts. Each part is marked with a code name, making it easily recognizable. Similarly, each of the neighboring edges are marked with a corresponding number, so the assembly process can be done with a great deal of ease.

The low cost materials and easy construction recommend it for amateur sculptors, prototyping and even the creation of self standing works.

The New Fordist Organization GEMAK residency was supported by GEMAK and a Stroom PRO Kunstprojecten Grant.
