pjd discovered 56 months ago- Bathsheba Grossman makes metal sculptures that blur the line between the organic and the geometric; the results are awe-inspiringly beautiful in every way.

- Bathsheba Grossman uses advanced math, technology, art, and metal working to create incredibly detailed structures. A 3D computer model is created from a mathematical formula allowing the her to select the most interesting permutation. That 3D model is then used to create a control file for a CNC machine that builds the object layer by layer. The machine uses powdered metal which is fused one ultra thin layer at a time, thus "printing" objects with interior structures which can be manufactured in no other way. This object is then heated in an oven which removes the binding agent and sinters the steel particles together. The resulting sintered structure is quite porous and not very durable, so it is immersed in a liquid bronze alloy which fills the lattice structure of the metal giving it a solid appearance and improved strength. Each object is then hand-finished by Bathsheba to polish and smooth the edges. Really quite stunning.

- A phenomenal collection of affordable mathematical sculptures. I don't usually thumb up product websites, but this one is unique.

- Interesting and impressive process to make the Gathsheba Sculpture. To me it is quite a change from a lost wax. j
