Adrian Sassoon's new exhibition at Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, showcases specially commissioned works by Michael Eden. "Form & Transform", one of the most ambitious shows by the artist so far, is a theatrical presentation of digitally printed pieces that draw on historic objects. The artist has worked with 3D scans to reimagine the objects at Waddesdon’s collections in the present day settings. The exhibition runs through October 21, 2018, at Waddesdon's Coach House Gallery.The unique and stunning pieces on display are a result of technological innovation, use of revolutionary machinery, application of hi-tech digital science, and extraordinary levels of skill."Three-dimensional printing has given me the freedom to create works of art impossible with the wheel and clay," says Eden about his innovative body of works."The new work makes connections that span time and cultures and explores the relationship between different periods of design and architectural style. Eden draws inspiration from the long tradition of materials being used to imitate other materials, and the abundance of ornamentation characteristic of Waddesdon’s 18th-century collections and 19th-century architecture," the gallery says.For the exhibition, Michael Eden presents his pieces among the objects and furniture from the Manor and its stores, thus revealing the different ages and styles that have inspired them. The works are created in collaboration with “Scan the World,” a social platform with a mission to archive objects of cultural significance using 3D technologies."Michael Eden: Form & Transform" is October 21, 2018, at Waddesdon Manor, Waddesdon, Aylesbury HP18 0JH, UK.
