Adrien Segal Video: Rim Fire Render
A time lapse of rendering and shading an inked drawing. It’s a shape based on a progression map of the Rim Fire—the third largest wildfire in California's history—that happened in August of 2013. This part of the design process will eventually become a series of sculptures that show how fires grew and change shape over time.

Investigating places where humans and nature overlap, Adrien Segal creates art as a means to communicate scientific and historic data to illustrate the unseen, narrating the story of a place as a physically engaging and intuitive experience.
Segal’s design method begins with extensive research, collection, and analysis of information. Drawing inspiration from the graphic language of data visualization, she combines aspects of history, landscape, natural phenomena, scientific research, and human impact into a narrative. She tells stories by translating information into lines, shapes, forms, and materials to reveal trends, patterns, processes, and relationships as three dimensional forms.
Segal’s work has been exhibited throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, among other places. She was born in Santa Clara, California, and lives in Oakland and has her studio in Alameda, California.
