Abstract
The creative process makes use of the imprint as an instrument that straightforwardly alludes to the emotional sensitivity of the observer. Sculpture, being a three dimensional creation, makes use of the imprint by means of the process called «lifecasting», which reproduces precisely the element’s volume and textures, regardless of whether it is a living or lifeless element, an organic element or an inorganic one. This article presents the results obtained when using lifecasting to create the liturgical furnishings for a Temple of the Christian Catholic faith. Funded by the Bishopric of Astorga, we argue in this article the conceptual framework behind the creation of a work of art that must cater for the needs of the different celebrations for which the place where it sits is built, while blending in with an innovative architecture that is concordant with the 21st century it belongs to and, simultaneously, integrating the observer in the meaning of the ritual through the evocative power of the imprint captured in the works.
