"Crania Anatomica Filigre" Skull
The little filigree 3d printed skull that became the #1 most funded Sculpture project in Kickstarter history & an icon of the 3D printed medium. The piece marks the 1st application of my surrealist automatism technique to representational form. It gives a new identity to the shape & invites the viewer to discover the form through the gentle visual lead of the pattern. This has been an exploration in how 2D images & designs can change the interpretation of 3D form & geometry. Representing the passing of an era & the ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past.

Meet the Maker
Joshua Harker
Joshua Harker
Sculptor, inventor, imagination architect, digital adventurer, & troublemaker.
Joshua Harker (b.1970) is an American artist considered a pioneer & visionary in 3D printed art & sculpture. His series of “unmakeable” technically complex tangles is credited as the first to break the design & manufacturing threshold of possibility. His pursuit of a process to bring his works into the 3rd dimension culminated after nearly 20 years in a perfect storm of software development, materials engineering, & 3d printing technology advancements. He went on to navigate the creation of his “Tangle” series in the archival material of cast bronze, thus bridging the traditional techniques of the past with technology of the present. This has been considered a landmark event in the history of sculpture & the chronology of the 3D printed medium & has made him one of the most recognized artists in the field.
Along with his techniques, subject matter, & execution, his experimentation in the dissemination of his art through digital media & the internet has garnered him international recognition & acclaim. He holds the #1 most funded Sculpture project in Kickstarter history & is among thousands of collections. His work has appeared in countless publications & press worldwide.
