Tango of the Minimal Surface explores the complexity of form and its realisation via the latest technology.
This exhibition opens a new chapter in the realisation of the design of unique and functional objects: 3D printing, bringing liberation from traditional production methods, showcases possibilities and scope. Even the most rigid of materials, including steel and ceramics, reveal almost infinite flexibility of design.
Each object features intricate geometric patterns or sinuous curves; each has its own seemingly dynamic nature.
This collection of work was inspired by architecture. detailed and textured designs where intended to question scalability from a wearable object to a habitable one. Some pieces use gradient textures which follow the geometry enhancing the form in all directions. Others were purely created through play with minimal surface algorithms orientated into functional forms. The purity of geometry was celebrated as I was careful to only enhance through texture and avoid over complicating and detracting from the form itself.
Sarah Ceravolo is a designer living and working in Melbourne, Australia and is the Chief Creative Officer at Hydrogen Fuels Australia. Her role includes exploring the transfiguration of fossil fuel to clean energy and the great potential for a positive urban and environmental impact through design. She is the founder of Convolo Design and H_SCALED focusing on new materials and architecture programs and systems aiming to further define the human scale in a digital age.;
Sarah has exhibited at the Beijing and Venice Biennale, the National Gallery of Victoria, Wanted Design in New York and more. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art and a Master of Architecture both from RMIT University, Melbourne. Sarah attended architecture design studios at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna (Die Angewandte) and SCI-Arc, Los Angeles, California.
