I had my annual visit to the Natural Stone Show 2013 at the ExCel London last week and as ever it is a must see experience for anyone who is working within the stone industry. The one thing that has become so noticeable each year when I visit is the increase in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing. There was even a miniature version of ‘Big Ben’ to marvel over, being carved by a robot out of statuary marble.
On return to the studio it got me wanting to develop drawings using software on the computer. I wanted the prints to have a very digital and manufactured feel to them and they have opened up other possibilities for designing sculptures.
