Abstract
A method to create a three-dimensional work from a single copy of a two-dimensional work such as a photograph, poster, drawing or painting. A single copy of the two-dimensional work is bonded to a stiff backer forming a composite. The composite is cut using a sculpture station into a plurality of pieces. The pieces are reattached to each other by spacers forming more than one layer. The resulting work can be displayed on a framing box adapted for any surface.
Claims16
A method for producing a three-dimensional work from a single two-dimensional work, comprising the steps of:
- providing a single two-dimensional work;
- providing a rigid backer;
- bonding said two-dimensional work to said rigid backer forming a work piece;
- identification of shapes in said two-dimensional work to become sculpture pieces and background pieces;
- providing a sculpture station having an oscillating cutting blade, said cutting blade having a circular cutting surface allowing said sculpture station to accurately and precisely cut a sculpture piece away from said work piece using a single uninterrupted cut;
- cutting said work piece with said sculpture station into background pieces and sculpture pieces;
- connecting at least two of said background pieces together forming a background;
- providing spacers;
- attaching said spacers to one or more of said background and said sculpture pieces, fixably positioning said sculpture pieces in relation to said background;
- thereby forming a three-dimensional work composed of images in different layers from a single two-dimensional work.
The method defined in claim 12 wherein said sculpture pieces are provided with more than one layer of backer.
