Artist Builds Installation With Ceramic 3D Printer

Anya Gallaccio, an artist well known for her work with organic matter and natural forms, is using a ceramic 3D printer to build a scaled model of the Devil's Tower mountain out of clay for her newest installation. The installation, titled Beautiful Minds and showing at the Thomas Dane Gallery in London, is a collaboration with her students at the University of California San Diego and a product of her time in California. Gallaccio is not only "obsessed with the desert, the sand, the landscape" of San Diego, but also invoked the "technical inventiveness" that California is so well-known for to build her 3D printer. Over the next month and a half, the huge 3D printer will keep building clay layers, essentially building itself, until the scaled model of the mountain appears.
