3D Restoration of Ferdi's Hortisculptures
Year: 2023 - 2024
Commissioned by: Charlotte Franzen, Bonnefanten Museum
Data collection and modelling: Alicia Walsh, Tijm Lanjouw
Project description: This project was commissioned by the Bonnefanten Museum in collaboration with Ellen Jansen (UvA Conservation and Resoration) and Katja van de Braak (Independent conservator).
Two sculptures from the artist Ferdi's (1927-1969) Hortisculpture collection have experienced damage over time and are undergoing restoration. Using the Artec Leo to 3D scan the sculptures Shigiory Torbinata and Labia Virginica Grandiflora, we were able to document and reconstruct the colour patterns found on the sun damaged fabrics. These patterns are printed onto new fabrics, which are then sown back onto the sculptures.
