"The history of the art object "Cranes"
⠀
Today I want to share the inner kitchen of the creation of the art object "Cranes". The project is notable for the fact that in order to achieve the result, I launched a synthesis of modern digital technologies and traditional analog, manual ones.
⠀
When an application came to me to recreate a copy of the work of a Japanese author in the technique of relief, I unwittingly fell for the slight deceptiveness of the drawing. Initially, it was assumed that the waves would be performed using combs, but when I immersed myself in the work, I felt that there was no plastic at all. In the search for ideal waves, we made about 8 samples before we found a solution that led us to the desired result. "Cranes" is a confirmation of the perseverance of my team, its professionalism, and its desire to bring any work to an ideal.
⠀
To convey the style of the Japanese master, we decided to combine CNC cutting and manual finishing. With the help of the machine, I got the geometry necessary for the panel, and the plastic of the wave, when it goes somewhere into a positive or negative angle, was already adjusted manually. So with an externally verified geometry, it is clear that a human hand can be traced in the waves.
⠀
Before cutting the layout, I came up with the idea to take calligraphic strokes from brushes by a Japanese author and thoroughly draw them manually on a computer. It was technological difficulties that served as the start for the search for new solutions, and a refined panel was born from a drawing made several centuries ago."
