Cindy Crawford participates in the tension between loose, painterly, gestural abstraction and the hard-edged, figuratively particular abstraction associated with Pop, initiated in mid-20th century American art. Roy Lichtenstein’s Brush Stroke paintings from the 1960’s, depicting apparently casual arrangements of conventional chromatic discharge, rendered with iconic specificity, and produced industrially, conflate this tension. The series is taken here to be a retroactive archetype for a marginal tendency toward aberrant “painterly” abstraction achieved through means of conceptual acuity, technical proficiency, and computational composition.

In the search for new materials and fabrication methods, the team’s approach establishes a constant dialogue between design intentions and the physical properties of a material – hot glue – within a robotic shaping environment. Glusion addresses geometry, motion control, variable material and free form fabrication.
