Techniques:
The process of making my sculptures starts with developing a mathematical idea.

I build a computer model to represent this idea in 3D world and then apply custom algorithms to give the model a nice body and organic look. At this stage I have detailed computer image of the future sculpture which I can rotate and manipulate in real time.

Next step is to play with the computer model and to select parameters of the model to make the sculpture look most interesting. The selected model is saved in special 3D file format as hundreds of thousands of tiny triangles representing surface of the object. I write all software I use for this process.

The file is sent to 3D printing company. The company uses state of the art technique to build objects. They build up sculptures from success of layers of metal powder which they are fused together at high temperature.

When I got my "green" pieces back it have a rough surface. I hand polish pieces and burnish them in tumbler with stainless steel shots.
