Alice and 3D Technology
In the story “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass” Alice gets bigger and smaller with mushrooms and elixirs. In Bridgette’s studio, she does this with technology. Bridgette used a combination of traditional sculpting with digital processes that she featured in her book “3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft: Exploring 3D Printing, Scanning, Sculpting and Milling.” Bridgette employed 3D scanning in the capturing of the small clay version. When digitized and in the computer, she worked with digital sculpting on the characters to further refine the digital model and then Computer Numerically Controlled milling or (CNC) milling is used to enlarge the design and mill it out in urethane foam. Then she and a team of artist worked to carve and add clay to each piece of foam.
She is presently working on a new book titled,
“A Curious Adventure: The Sculpting of a Bronze Wonderland Using Fine Art and Digital Technology.”
