Diversity
Where Tradition and Technology Meet
Anna Calluori Holcombe
When I travel and explore the world, I cannot help but make connections. Nature is one place that I look for these connections. Interestingly, the word nature has multiple definitions, ranging from a person’s inherent character to an organ’s function and to the flora and fauna found in the landscape. In this presentation I will discuss how I have managed to combine the long held tradition of Ceramics in China to the current contemporary use of 3D technologies. I will briefly describe the technologies I use as a methodology of creating, inspired by my working in China.
