'Shell' holds clear intentions of appreciating the finesse of everyday natural form; the artists acts as a gatherer with an intention, a flâneur with an intrigue for appreciating natural perfection, following in the footsteps of Hans Sloane and his own shell collection. Inspired by the ocean and its organic forms, this colossal clay maquette of a seashell holds a sophisticated yet modest shape. Like Soane, Catherine is captivated by naturally beautiful objects; the coil of the shell followes the golden ratio used by Leonardo da Vinci to create proportions pleasing to the human eye.  This digital maquette of the original sculpture now opens up free reign to decorate it a countless amount of times, upload your own painted shell to this page and let us know!   This object is part of "Scan The World". Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free. Scan the World is an open source, community effort, if you have interesting items around you and would like to contribute, email [email protected] to find out how you can help.

I have a background in model making, painting, and mould making and am now enjoying translating this knowledge into the magical world of 3D printing. I love pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in the post production of FDM 3D prints and I enjoy sculpting my own models using both traditional and digital methods.
