Ryan McClean

 

By James Robertson

 

Ryan McClean is interested in the mathematics of nature, looking at fractals and the golden ratio, applying them to his work. These rules govern the growth of the natural world. He makes pieces that have a familiarity to nature using maths. In his newest collection he has been designing the pieces in a computer and then 3D printing the design. He then uses the 3D print as guide and replicates it as close as he can using the age old-methods of raising and chasing. Ryan has always pushed the boundaries of the possible, using a combination of traditional and cutting-edge techniques.
