Mountain has used various video game and digital software in a goal to create 3D printed, life-sized blocky sculpture of an US military tank in the courtyard of a Lincolnshire Gallery as an installation. The sculpture an astoundingly complex jigsaw puzzle created in various wooden boards. It was located at the Visual Arts Centre, Scunthrope it’s a representation of tank game model.


Mountain downloaded a digital map of a tank from the internet, its composed series of stacked meter cubed portions manufactured in a form of 3D printing in which Mountain developed precisely for this commission. Used thousands of sheets of plywood in which were intended to slot together to create a skeletal web, later he fleshed out and re sculpted his recycled broken pallets transformed in to a unique stationed sculpture. Numerus pieces were set on fire controlled in an achievement to fulfill a feel of a charcoal drawing. It however was only seen on his computer thus hadn’t been pieced together as an untied installation. This project had taken four years in the making.


I actually like the surreal uneven block nature of the puzzled piece. I hopefully intend to take detailed parts from other objects and juxtapose these elements into an untied piece, one in which contains the elements of power.
