The Irma Series is a marriage of art & technology. My passion as a sculptor is to capture the tension of motion – and my favorite subject is the grace and athleticism of the female dancer. The Irma Series started with a hand-sculpted wax model of a dancer’s body just starting a turn. The wax model was then 3D scanned and converted to a digital “mesh” file. With the 3d digital file, I could then explore variations of form and scale much more quickly than with physical models. However, the original hand-sculpted wax gave me a tactile and visual appreciation that I couldn’t achieve if I were to work completely digitally.
The Irma series has resulted, so far, in 3 physical final sculptures. This one, Irma-Rose, is a table-top bronze that is the most realistic. Irma-Louise is an 8ft corten steel model semi-transparent version. Irma-Glynn is a resin model with tessellated motion lines.
