Synthetic Sculpture

Richard McCoy’s Fragment features many experiments with synthetic art, but one in particular that has been on my mind for weeks.
Using the plastic typically used in 3D printing, he hand-moulded tessellated columns in neon.
A direct riff on classical forms, these have fun… somewhere in the blurry line between handmade and machined.
Classical forms, handmade in neon plastic, all crushed together like a cyberpunk Escher.
A machined aesthetic, hand-crafted.
Smooth synthetic art as a form of human expression.
