3D Printing, Industry. Each digital work is based on a specific tree. The title is the GPS coordinates of where that tree grew or is growing. Data from its bark is scanned into the computer. The model preserves the bark striations and growth formations of real trees that no longer exist, as well as current trees that may be lost in the future. The elements within the work grow in the same way human, animal, and plants tissues regenerate as substrates. They are informed and infused with environmental forces which then grow into complex intertwined sculptural structures.Rebecca, Maas
