The Paint Torch is a beautiful, innovative installation that protrudes towards Broad Street at a 60-degree angle. The tip of the brush and glob are translucent to accommodate LED systems embedded in them that glow when lit up at night.

Water Tree by Lawrence Argent, (Illumination electronics by Jen Lewyn Studios) is an FRP sculpture made of four repeating custom molded elements over a matching tube steel armature and derived from a 3D computer model provided by the artist.

The Bloom Lantern is approximately 39′ x 10′ x 5′ and made of translucent FRP.

Inhale Exhale is an FRP and steel sculpture fabricated by milling one of its segments on our five-axis CNC router using urethane foam. A mold was produced from this pattern, and multiple segments were fabricated to complete 1/3 of the circumference of this three-sided sculpture. Next, the assembly was fastened to the structural steel armature, and another mold of the entire length was taken. Finally, the other 2/3’s of the sculpture was fabricated into this mold. These were then assembled onto the steel frame, faired, and finished with linear polyurethane automotive-grade coating.

The Schiara Lantern (1 of an edition of 14) is made of clear unsaturated polyester resin and E-Glass- reinforced sculpture, with opaque aperture elements of integrally molded thin-section polymer concrete and FRP reinforcement. Pattern milled of medium-density urethane foam on a Motionmaster 5-axis CNC gantry. Rigid reusable female FRP molds.

To construct The River Wall, K&A fabricated panels made of fiberglass. The panels are anchored to a concrete wall via panel joints and special fabrication, construction, and installation techniques to build this artwork.

Cowboys and Indians are incredible translucent FRP sculptures made from rigid female FRP molds. The sculptures are made of clear unsaturated polyester resin and E-Glass reinforcement for strength! They were then covered in a gel coat, a second urethane coating, and a clear topcoat.

The project required FRP Parapet panels matching existing terra cotta to restore the 200 Powell Street building in San Francisco, California. In addition, the project required onsite field dimensioning and mold-making of relief pieces for the fabrication process.

The Read Building required a polymer concrete face coat applied to female molds fabricated from the architect's CAD data. Face coat backed with fire retardant unsaturated polyester resin and E-Glass reinforcement. After removing the mold, the surface was sandblasted to achieve the desired stone finish.

The Ghost Trolley is a translucent FRP sculpture utilizing clear unsaturated polyester laminating resin and E-Glass reinforcement. The sculpture was created by full-scale milling patterns from EPS foam on our large format CNC gantry. Next, the foam was protected, and female FRP molds were made into which the translucent FRP was laminated, cured, and removed. Finally, the mirror image was created and bonded to the other side to form a digitally compressed or distorted "ghost" of Aurora, Colorado's long-abandoned original town trolley.

The Sea Ranch Residence required foam-insulated pre-cast concrete walls with electrical and plumbing embedments.

Molds were created by laser scanning a rock wall model created by the artist Forest Boon using an Atos close range photogrammetry scanner. The scan data was then inverted, and blocks of EPS foam molds were machined using our large format 5-axis CNC gantry mill. Dozens of these “molds” were fabricated and then shipped to Hawaii, where they were arranged appropriately against a concrete retaining wall and the space between filled with poured-in-place concrete. After the foam was removed, the surface was “faux finished” by the artist.

The Marin Academy Entry FRP Entry façade is made of unsaturated polyester resin and E-Glass reinforcement with an integrally molded NPG Isothalic marine-grade gel coat. Structural FRP sandwich construction allowed for fastening to an existing wall at the perimeter through exterior flanges, which were later buried in stucco by others. Size: 28 x 16 plus miscellaneous small parts.

Helioscope by architect Evan Douglass, is a one-piece FRP sculpture fabricated in a 45-piece mold. Made from unsaturated polyester resin and glass fiber reinforcement, the sculpture is monocoque with no internal secondary structure and is engineered to fasten to a plywood template secured to the ceiling through minimally visible connections.

The Detroit Institute of Art required composite exterior panels (North & South Wing).

Digital data was used to create Illumination’s CNC-mill female EPS molds, making several sculpture segments. The interior and exterior FRP skins of these segments were joined with bulkheads. Assembly was by incorporating a post-tensioned assembly system. The surface finish was by applying Italian veneer plaster, or “marmorino.

This fascinating Blue Bear sculpture is a digitally scanned and manipulated maquette created by Lawrence Argent. A mold was generated from computer data using CNC machines to form FRP panels from foam molds, which were then assembled into a full-size sculpture with a partial steel armature and assembly joints for support before being coated with a blue polymer concrete finish.

Skyspace is made with unsaturated polyester resin and E-glass fiber reinforced panels fabricated using vacuum infusion and double thickness of 3/4” thick plywood core to create walls, roof, and ceiling oculus. The finish is post applied polymer concrete, sandblasted after cure. The walls act as a monocoque structure. Interior space accommodates seating and mechanical equipment. The piece is engineered to be supported by stainless steel columns incorporated into the swimming pool design.

From the artist’s concept model, Floating Peel’s geometry was captured by a laser scanner, foam patterns fabricated in full-scale and female FRP molds made of the tops and bottoms of each Peel and the remaining portion of the fruit. Due to the extremely small ground contact point, the laminate is carbon fiber in vinyl ester resin. Fabrication utilized a unique interleafing of thin ribbons of ¼-inch-thick by 1-inch-wide 5-pound per cubic foot PVC foam core. As a result, the laminate is nearly solid carbon fiber at the bottom, with the carbon gradually being replaced by foam slivers. The top leaves are approximately 1.5mm (.060 inches) thick with solid foam between skins.
