An Artful and Eye-catching Private Installation
Along with monumental public installations, at Scientific Art Studio we enjoy applying our craft and skill to smaller scale projects, like this elegant and unusual garden sculpture.
This past year a local architect was referred to our studio because “that team can do anything!” The client wanted a 3-foot tall high-heeled shoe in the favorite style of the client’s wife to be installed in the garden of their private home.
Stainless steel was selected as it would truly stand the test of time and the elements in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We created a digital model so that we could make a smaller scale 3D print to present to the client for approval, and also to tweak and art direct.
Then we used that computer model to print the patterns that would need to be hammered by hand and shaped into the final sculpture, a process new to the SAS artist in charge, but a welcome opportunity to further elevate their metalworking and sculpting abilities.
We collaborated with a specialist painter of custom vehicles to complete the fairing and apply a flawless finish. Installed at the home in November, this show-stopping sculpture resulted in a very happy client.
