A two-metre figurative sculpture as a permanent statement of corporate identity. At that height a printed object stops being a print and becomes a structural problem: it has to stand, ship, and survive being looked at closely under gallery light.

We printed the form using gel-dispensing technology and assembled it around a custom aluminium armature carrying the load internally, so the surface is free to be surface. Finishing took 3 passes to a glossy white with no visible layer lines and no visible seams, the part of the process that takes longest and is the only part anyone sees.
