Huntington Hospital Commission
A small carved stone sculpture by Henry Moore titled “Reclining
Form” 1966, was selected from the collection at the Norton Simon Museum
in Pasadena. The entire sculpture was scanned using a hand held 3D scanning
device from Art Center College of Design. “Separated United Forms” was
developed by utilizing digital technologies that included a 3D body scanner,
3D modeling programs, and Rapid Prototyping processes. The forms were then reconstructed
using 3D modeling programs in the computer. The two "ends” of the
sculpture were separated from each other and then superimposed in order to generate
two new hybrid forms recalling Henry Moore’s idea of the vital life
force.
