"Tōhoku Japanese Earthquake Sculpture"
Luke Jerram's multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations, live arts projects and gifts. Living in the UK but working internationally since his career began in 1997, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe
Almost eight months since the massive 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake hit Japan Luke creates the
"Tōhoku Japanese Earthquake Sculpture".
The artwork measures 30cm x 20cm and represents 9 minutes of the earthquake. He constructed the piece by taking the design from a nine minute span of seismometer data from the earthquake and creating a 3D image with a computer aided design program. Then he printed the design using a rapid prototyping machine. The sculpture will be presented at the Jerwood Space in London for a show called Terra. Exploring how data is read and can be represented and interpreted, the artwork is one of a series of data visualization sculptures Jerram has recently created. Next month Jerram will be artist in residence at the
Museum of Glass in Washington where he hopes to create this work as a limited edition in glass.
