Corten Steel Sculpture
This contemporary sculpture includes the visual dimension of rhythm to emphasize the motion of the dancer. The dance move is taken from Hip Hop’s bounce movements – well known to Lil Kim fans. It is both figurative and abstract and truly marries the handcraft typical in fine art plus the digital innovations of modern technology.
The work is constructed of slatted “self-weathering” steel. The Corten steel will form a natural orange/brown patina and then stop rusting protecting the steel from further rust for a lifetime.
The Bounce’s creation was an intensive 3 months of effort. It started with sculpting a 24” tall wax model to capture the body movements. The model was then scanned to create a 3D “mesh” file. Further exploration was done digitally to try out ways of slicing the figure and different geometric arrays to capture the power and motion of the dance. Machine files were then created to guide a computerized laser cutting machine. The pieces were then assembled and finished. The whole process took an elapsed 4 months with more than 90 full-time days of effort.
