The Foundry Experience — The making of ‘Part D’

continued

Pamela DeTuncq

Although I always maintain that the why of a piece of art is always more important than the how, this process is pretty darn amazing.

Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) milling has been used in manufacturing for decades and with many digital innovations is now common in the art world. The digital data from Connie’s body scan was used to direct the CNC machine shown in this video. (Video courtesy of Walla Walla Foundry)

The carved high-density foam from the CNC portion of the project is used for the vacuum forming stage. There are holes throughout the foam to allow for the vacuum to pull the heated acrylic onto the figure. This is done in two halves which will be glued together later. Pretty cool.

ABOUT

Through her diverse sculpture, conceptual artist Pamela DeTuncq addresses some of the more compelling zeitgeists of contemporary American culture. After years in the design industry, she now applies her skills to multi-layered sculptural work addressing such disparate themes as teen alienation, gender stereotypes, and the vicissitudes of faith.
She earned her MFA in Visual Arts from the Art Institute of Boston and BA in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland. Her work has been shown nationally, with the Dennos Museum recently adding one of her fiber installations to their permanent collection.
