Cianfanelli continues his exploration of computer aided design in the realisation of his work. He is exploring new ground in terms of exploiting that data to inform and understand new forms and meaning.

In addition digitally designed and precision laser cut form is no longer an end product but potentially a starting point to configuring work.<\/p>\n

Over the past ten years, Cianfanelli has explored various possibilities for artistic intervention in the public and commercial realm. This activity has developed to the point that not only has the gap between gallery and project work narrowed but project work has reached a level of sophistication that it has started to inform and develop the artist\u2019\u00c4\u00f4s work produced purely for exhibition.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
