crania anatomica filigre by joshua harker from usa

less than one month ago, the imagination of modern sculptor joshua harker went out to the world through his new project on the wildly popular crowd funding site, kickstarter.com. the project, “crania anatomica filigre: me to you”, is an exploration of creative & alternative ways for artists to share & connect with a larger audience.

the project was fully funded within the first 8 hours and is now nearly 10,000% funded. It is has become the most funded sculpture project in kickstarter history and is in the top 5 in arts overall. with over 2 weeks more to go it seems joshua has surely proven what he set out to do.

the sculpture at the center of all this activity is entitled “crania anatomica filigre”. it's a delicate filigree skull digitally sculpted & built on a 3D printer. harker has been a pioneer in the art of sculpture, using emerging 3-D printing technologies and sculptural software to turn his abstract visions into labyrinth-like works of art. for the first time, forms of this organic complexity can be successfully developed and reproduced.

“I believe this boon of technology is a revolutionary time for the arts and one which will be boldly marked in history,” said harker, who is among just a few pioneering artist's using these emerging technologies & mediums to push the envelope of what can be done 3-dimensionally. “I am inspired to be part of a movement that celebrates a new approach to art creation and production.”
