"Rapid additive fabrication - otherwise known as 3D printing - has come into its maturity as of late. The paradigm-shifting technology can now be harnessed in every type of naturally extracted and manufactured material. The limited formal constraints of long-established production techniques like molding have been thrown out the window. Brooklyn-based Ukrainian polymath Renata G., founder of MIOS (Made in Our Studio), has added her voice to this ever-progressing revolution."
"Tapping into her implicit understanding of materiality - her extensive training in painting and sculpture - she creates bespoke luminaires by modeling and then 3D printing complex structural patterns in ceramic. The sculptural, amorphous forms are then finished using the traditional procedures of glazing and kiln-firing. They are then wired with lighting fixtures. The melding of these seemingly disparate methodologies has led her to formulate a compelling approach all her own; a strategy that doesn't allow one procedure to supersede the other."
Rapid additive fabrication has matured and now applies to natural and manufactured materials. Renata G., a Brooklyn-based Ukrainian polymath and founder of MIOS, models and 3D prints complex structural ceramic patterns to produce bespoke luminaires. The sculptural, amorphous forms receive traditional glazing and kiln-firing and are then wired with lighting fixtures. Methodologies are combined as complementary tools rather than hierarchical processes. MIOS adapts a New Mid Century aesthetic while introducing notions of digital craft, sculptural clarity, and commitment to process. Extensive experimentation with porcelain and stoneware revealed unexpected potentials that challenge assumptions about fragility and refinement.
