Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
I will purchase equipment and pursue a project that will greatly expand my ability to use digital fabrication methods and techniques in my studio practice. By the end of the grant period I will have a completed work that utilized digital fabrication as a major component of the process. I will also have the ability to pursue future projects and work that use digital fabrication in their production.
Measurable Outcome(s)
David Bowen has completed a series of sculptures using data collected from a region specific to Minnesota. He used digital fabrication equipment to complete this work.
