As Artist in Residence at Autodesk, I embarked on creating artwork using the building blocks of life: live cells.
I
turned to synthetic biology and regenerative medicine and set out on a
journey of creating artwork that could grow into form. Using CAD design
and 3D printing, I created scaffolds to encourage cell growth into a
certain form, a 3D printed framework that tissue can regenerate on.
There
has been a lot of curiosity from the bio-medical, pharmaceutical and
cosmeceutical industry and a wide spectrum of people to understand how I
created the 3D printed scaffolds. I have been asked on multiple
occasions if I would share details on the process.
