Bridgette Mongeon 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft

Bridgette Mongeon’s book is published by Focal Press and is scheduled for release this summer.

Mongeon is a proponent of combining both traditional processes of sculpting and new digital technologies and uses them both in her work. She continues to share some of her findings by interviewing many of the artists and vendors featured in the book, and she presents this “fire side chat” in the monthly Art and Technology audio podcasts, of which she is the host.

Sculptor Bridgette Mongeon writes about her process of creating using traditional and digital processes in her new book “3D Technology In Fine Art and Craft: Exploring 3D Printing, Scanning, Sculpting and Milling.”

For the debut of this monthly series of podcasts, she has enhanced the first audio and made it into an online video. The first guest of this new podcast series is 3D Printer World, Editor-at-Large Bob Titsch. Titsch and Mongeon met at last year’s 3D Printer World Expo in Burbank, where Mongeon was a speaker. The first podcast takes a turn midway, as Titsch then interviews the author about her book and her process of creating using technology in fine art. They discuss Mongeon’s 15’ bronze tiger that she created for Grambling State University and how she used digital technology in the process. Mongeon repurposed the tiger with the help of 3drp who 3D printed the tiger as a small maquette for display at last year’s 3D Printer World Expo.

Mongeon will also be showing work in the Expo’s art gallery. This year’s art project featuring 3D technology and 3D printing is an even bigger project then last year’s 15’ Grambling tiger. “This new commission is one of the biggest and most exciting of my career, and as a public piece, it will be one that many will want to see. I’m thrilled to be sharing it at 3D Printer World Expo,” states Mongeon. A perpetual communicator Ms. Mongeon is also embarking on her next book project that documents the process of this new sculpture commission.
