VICTORIAN STATE LIBRARY REMIX 2017

Remix 2017

In 2017, the State Library of Victoria offered a challenge to creatives to reuse, remix or manipulate a selection of images from their permanent collection.

As an admirer of the exquisite works of Pierre-Joseph Redouté in general, I decided to rebuild his 'Methonica Superba' in a 3D environment, effectively transposing and replacing with a modern architectural interpretation of one of his plant studies.

Although unsuccessful in achieving the opportunity to have this version displayed permanently in the State Library of Victoria, I was thoroughly motivated to push the boundaries of my understanding of the 3D modelling process, particularly in relation to producing an altered facsimile of such an iconic historical study.

Here's the original and the remix, and some details.
