Vegetable Sculptures
I've always loved vegetables. Even as a young child, one of my favorite foods was green onion. It's really a bummer that my sensitive stomach sometimes limits my enjoyment of them... it's funny how something always gets in the way of a potentially healthy habit!
Recently I decided that it would be fun to capture the beauty of raw fruits and vegetables by 3D scanning their forms and created sculptures from the CAD data. I don't really modify the shapes much at all, other than to scale them up and make them more easy to manufacture - I find them beautiful as-is! Once the form is finalized, they're then printed on one of my FDM machines, polished up a bit, and sent out for casting and patina.

Who doesn't love avocado toast? Have you ever tried making it with a 15lb bronze avocado, with a perfectly ripe patina? Delicious!
