Chat with Glass Artist Jerre Davidson on ‘Shape of Dance
Leading-edge technology meets artistic process. Jerre Davidson, Glass Artist, walks us through how she interprets dance movements into 3D sculpture by integrating the principles and practices of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). We’ll discuss her process of creating these exquisite motion-capture dance movements into sculptural shapes ‘frozen in glass’, from recording dance in motion capture studio, converting to 3D form using a 3D printer to casting the glass in the lost wax casting technique, cold-worked, some of the challenges and what to expect next!
