ONTZI

A series of 3D models of objects removed from their convex hull transferring their material in the process.

The conceptual framework for the rendered images draws from a language of research, museology and the nature of a collection and collecting. The drawings are based on photorealistic renders of objects impossible to create in their intended material: it is not possible to create these moulds capable of being removed from the interior of an intact glass form.

The design process hovers between the potentiality of procedural and parametric techniques alongside aesthetic decisions towards the final artwork.

Ontzi is part of an ongoing project exploring the history and culture of the Basque country. The work uses the language of product and furniture design, its history and processes, as analogous with the anthropological documentation and recording of artifacts.
