Here are a few images of the sculpture, shown in clay above, which I unveiled during my lecture at the Tate Modern on “Bit to Atoms – The Process and Evolution of Digital Sculpture“. During the lecture I talked about the process of making the piece – first creating a digital maquette in Zbrush to establish the balance, weight, and proportions of the figure, and then using that digital data as a guide for constructing the full-sized figure sculpture in clay.
Here is a comp of a small maquette I put together as a test for an upcoming project. It is loosely inspired by the ballerina sketch in the Drawings section. I am not happy with the concept just yet, but time permitting, you may see a full version of this piece executed sometime in the new year. Happy Holidays.
Here are photographs of the figure sculpture from my Tate Modern lecture.
Material: marble resin with iPod

Phil is finally out of kiln and photographed in the studio with some decent lighting.
