Loop Works (2020-2021)

A collaboration with Alma Bangsgaard

Our collaboration sprang from a desire to engage in a series of experiments in an attempt to combine, share and develop our individual fields of in-depth knowledge based on years of experience with ceramics in combination with the technology of 3D printing.

With the purpose of generating new ways of using this technology, where material properties and digital methods fuse into one, we have undertaken this joint project to demonstrate new opportunities for creating unique forms and textures based on digital production methods.

The natural movement and plasticity of porcelain clay and the programming of mathematical algorithms result in pieces with properties resembling knitting. The pieces demonstrate the combination of the digital realm and a living material.
