Gimme a Hand!
A time lapse video of making a hand sculpture using the Makerbot Replicator 2. The process was involved: At the Digital Atelier in Hamilton NJ we created a plaster cast of my hand and then made a high resolution scan of the plaster cast. The file had to be edited to cut the hand at …
Time Machine
How in the hell did I do that? Sometimes when I look back at an older photogram or print that I made I wonder how I got an effect or what kind of process I was using. Fortunately I have my own personal time machine. It works some of the time. It is pretty simple. …

Some of the practical uses include 3D printing dental implants and prosthetic devices. The super hyped hysteria about 3D printing …
Mud and Fire and 3D Printing
3D printing is fascinating, witness the media hype (3d printed guns?) and artists are not immune. I got the bug early and have been 3D printing since working on the Ascent Project back in 2010. Ceramic artists are doing it too. I spent a few days at the NCECA ceramics conference in Providence RI where …
