I'm Lu — an interdisciplinary artist constructing interactive systems, 3D printed forms, gestural paintings, and narrative architectures. My work investigates how memory, emotion, and experience can be aggregated into spatial, affective worlds.

Artist Statement

My practice investigates how memory and emotional residue can be encoded into constructed environments, both digital and physical. I work across interactive systems, 3D printing, and traditional painting to create modular works that accumulate narrative and affective traces.

Using Rhino3D and Processing, I build digital environments and toolsets that allow for procedural transformation, data translation, and structural variation. These virtual forms are then interpreted materially through 3D printing, where the digital meets the physical through a process of selective translation and material response.

This developing dimension of my practice interrogates the transformative potential of 3D printing as a site-specific intervention tool, merging digital fabrication with traditional craft to uncover the layered histories embedded in landscapes and objects. By treating additive manufacturing as a reactive rather than purely technical process, I explore how it mediates between data, materiality, and human gesture.

Through documentary methodologies and cross-disciplinary experimentation, I challenge 3D printing’s conventional applications, reframing it as an agent of transduction—a process that converts geographic, social, or archival data into tactile, speculative artifacts. These works often stage a collision between algorithmic precision and the unpredictability of handwork, revealing tensions between memory and erasure, permanence and fragility.

In parallel, my painting practice focuses on canvas-based works using mixed and unmixed acrylics and acrylic ink. Techniques such as layered application, selective erasure, and acrylic ink mass tracing serve to simulate erosion, sedimentation, and affective presence. These physical gestures echo the logic of my digital processes, where meaning emerges through accumulation, omission, and revision.

Together, these approaches ask: How can digital fabrication and manual techniques collaborate to not only represent, but reinterpret, the emotional and historical landscapes embedded within objects and places?
