Since 1994 my work has combined new technologies – including computer based modeling and Rapid Prototyping – together with traditional Silversmithing techniques. I am interested in extending the ideas of traditional art and craft making processes by exploring mathematical equations to define the shape of objects. Recently I have begun to reverse this digital based making process in putting the hand made, the Silversmithing, first and then ‘reverse engineer’ elements using digital technologies.
I would appreciate any comment you have about my posts in this blog.
After completing a degree in silversmithing as a Meisterschueler at the Academy of Fine Art in Nuernberg, Germany, I completed a Graduate Diploma at the ANU School of Art in Canberra, Australia.
Working as a contemporary craft practitioner I show my work at national and international exhibitions. I was awarded the ‘Bavarian Staats Prize’ after having been invited to participate in the ‘Meister der Moderne’ exhibition at the international Munich Craft Fair.
In 1994, I was part of the team that established the Computer Art Studio at the ANU School of Art, introducing digital technologies to students and staff in1994. This studio is now offering a variety of IT based courses to the School. In 1998 I was jointly nominated for an ANU Vice Chancellors Teaching Award and in 2007 a Carrick citation for my contribution to university teaching.
Cheers
Gilbert
