Paralytic Conflux
Collaboration with Christopher Coleman
Sculpture
2010
Paralytic Conflux is a nexus of energy and potential, simultaneously frozen and waiting. The forms make reference to parasites and their often symbiotic relationships where each partner relies on the other for balance. The sculpture was created and printed using open-source software and hardware. A kit was used to build a 3D printer to digitally create and then realize the concept in physical form. For this sculpture the capabilities of the printer were pushed to produce a feeling of entanglement.
