# 3D-Modelled Metallic Organs Anne Mondro Recreates Human Hearts Out Using Tech and Knit Wires By M | Published 2016-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-heart References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/anne-mondro-wire-heart-crochet?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [annemondro](http://www.annemondro.com/) Anne Mondro is a detailed sculptor that recreates realistic renditions of the human heart using 3D-modelling and [knitted wires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1). The wires are interwoven extremely tight to replicate the heart to a realistic degree that is then placed on display in the Stamps School of Art and Design at the [University of Michigan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-preparation-toy) as a commentary on the healthcare system. The project looks at the relationship and intimacy that is formed between a patient and their caregiver and the knitted aesthetic of the wires used to construct the hearts highlight this closeness. The organs are developed using 3D-modelling to construct a realistic anatomical piece that is then put together using connected wires that are stitched together by hand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-modelling in Healthcare:** The use of 3D-modelling technology in the healthcare industry can revolutionize the creation of realistic anatomical models for medical training and research. - **Artistic Interpretations of Medical Objects:** Artists incorporating medical objects into their work, like Anne Mondro's knitted wire hearts, can offer unique perspectives on healthcare and spark conversations about the healthcare system. - **Integrating Technology and Craftsmanship:** Combining high-tech tools like 3D-modelling with traditional crafts like knitting can create innovative and visually striking art pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can benefit from the use of 3D-modelling technology to create accurate and realistic organ representations for surgical planning and education. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore the fusion of technology and traditional crafts to create thought-provoking and visually captivating artworks like Anne Mondro's knitted wire hearts. - **Education and Training:** The education and training industry can utilize 3D-modelling technology to enhance medical students' learning experiences by providing them with detailed anatomical models that are true to life. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Mechanical Heart Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorized-beating-heart.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Synthetic Fiber Heart Valves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyss-institute.md) - [Health Object Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice.md) - [Educational Anatomy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-heart-with-hidden-cells.md) - [Human Hair-Made Prosthetic Nipples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosthetic-nipples.md) - [3D-Knitted Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting1.md)
