Gareth Neal, Anne Chair

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculpture to discover it. Michelangelo

Gareth Neal combines traditional techniques and forms with modern technology. Carved/ milled with a CNC machine the Queen Anne-style console 'sits' within its digitally rendered case.

Neal's Anne Chair image resembles the re-materialization status of an object in teleport where both matter and information momentarily coexist.
