Sculpture on the Lawn 2025

Abstract

This output is the selection of a 3D printed public art sculpture for Sculpture on The Lawn, Orlando, Florida, USA. Sculpture on the Lawn is an annual one-year exhibition for works of public art. Four pieces are selected each year in an international open competition. The piece is 3D printed in recycled plastic which has then been wrapped in a structural skin of glass reinforced plastic, GRP, aka fiberglass. It is the result of experiments in ‘democratic’ open-source technologies that would be accessible to the independent arts practitioner. The piece, The Blue Mulberry, was installed in downtown Orlando in January 2025.
