"Dynamic Transcendental Migration" is the 4th in the series of Harker’s “Tangles”. This series achieved a new level of organic & compositional complexity unattainable with traditional mediums. To fully appreciate the gravity of the pieces one must understand the practical impossibilities of their existence. They are considered as the first shapes to break the design & manufacturing threshold of possibility with their technical sophistication. This has been considered a landmark event in the history of sculpture & the chronology of the 3D printed medium & made him one of the most recognized artists in the field. His pursuit of a process to bring his works into the 3rd dimension lasted nearly 20 years & culminated in 2004 with a perfect storm of software development, materials engineering, & 3d printing technology advancements. He went on to navigate the creation of the “Tangle” series in the archival material of cast bronze, thus bridging the traditional techniques of the past with present. “Stemming from 2D linear automatism explorations (pioneered by André Masson and practiced notably by Joan Miró, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Jean Arp, and Pablo Picasso), my "Tangles” are intended to interpret and share forms evident in the mind’s eye but that cannot otherwise be described. My intent is to explore and give form to the architecture of the imagination. By disengaging the conscious mind I am able to examine esoteric visions before they submit to a recognizable metaphor. I am then able to capture and refine them into the forms I command offering the opportunity to study their identity and structure.” Edition is limited to 10 pieces

Joshua Harker (b.1970) is an American artist considered a pioneer & visionary in 3D printed art & sculpture. His series of "unmakeable" technically complex tangles is credited as the first to break the design & manufacturing threshold of possiblity. His pursuit of a process to bring his works into the 3rd dimension culminated after nearly 20 years in a perfect storm of software development, materials engineering, & 3d printing technology advancements. He went on to navigate the creation of his "Tangle" series in the archival material of cast bronze, thus bridging the traditional techniques of the past with technology of the present. This has been considered a landmark event in the history of sculpture & the chronology of the 3D printed medium & has made him one of the most recognized artists in the field. His recent works are 2 dimensional pattern based explorations of 3 Dimensional forms. Along with his techniques, subject matter, & execution, his experimentation in the dissemination of his art through digital media & the internet has garnered him international recognition & acclaim. He holds the #1 most funded Sculpture project in the history of the crowdfunding giant Kickstarter & is among 1000s of collections that include such notable artists as Andy Warhol, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, R. Crumb, & Robert Williams. His work has neen exhibited internationally & appeared in such media as TIME, WIRED, The Wall Street Journal, TED Talks, Los Angeles Times, The Economist, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes, National Geographic, and countless others.
