8/14/2019 "Capo di Muro": A Work-in-Progress with Tony Buchen
1/12
A metal sculptor for 25 years, Tony Buchen transitioned to three-dimensional virtual modeling full
time in 2000. He and his collaborator, Jeralyn Goodwin, create photographs, videos, and 3-D
prints of their virtual models, which can be seen at their studio and gallery in Santa Fe's Railyard
Art District. Santa Fe Creative Tourism is proud to present Mr. Buchen's ongoing workshop:Made in
the Future: Working in Virtual Space. For more information, please visit buchen-goodwin.com orsantafecreativetourism.org.
Capo di Muro: A Work-in-Progress with Tony Buchen
We asked artists to give us a glimpse of their creative process in action. Here, Tony Buchen shares
some insights in the creation and development of his first virtual model to be produced as a physical
sculpture:
While taking a sabbatical on the island of Corsica I developed my first virtual 3D model to be
produced as a physical sculpture. Walking out on the remote peninsula called Capo di Muro, I did a
sketch [#1] of the rock formation shown in the photograph [#2]. From the drawing I developed a
virtual model [#3] which I intended to use as the subject for a series of photographs [#4]. However,
at the local village bar I overheard someone talking about a brand new RPT machine (a 3D printer) at
a Corsican university nearby. I contacted the professor in charge who was delighted to have
someone experiment with what was then a relatively new technology. The model was printed in ABS
white plastic [#5]. I borrowed some fiberglass from a local fisherman repairing his boat, coated the
plastic, sanded, spray-painted, and mounted the piece on an aluminum base [#6, 7, 8]. The virtualmodel continues to be used in numerous ways. It could be scaled to produce a sculpture of varying
sizes and materials. Image #9 is a simulation of the sculpture in stainless steel in an outdoor setting.
The model has been the subject for a large body of work which includes photographic compositions
[#10] and video.
