The Competition 1

After working for years in wax and resin, for the last year I've been working extensively on digital sculptures which are then 'materialized' with the technique called 'rapid manufacturing'. For me, the 3D-printing technique gives me a limitless freedom in almost instantly materializing the images I have in my mind. Attached there are some examples of the sculptures I exhibited with great success (three of four were sold) at an art manifestation in my hometown Haarlem (The Netherlands).
