Surface work

Stripping off the utility. For now

January is the September of the winter. New start. Clean slate.

I’m channeling that energy into some creative work this week to push forward projects that I haven’t even conceived of yet!

Currently on the carving robot, I have a lot of circular wave patterns that are inspired by (read models of) the waves that the head of a drum makes when struck. I’m making my way through understanding good scales to work at and how these kinds of ripples interact with the material that they’re carved from.

I’m thinking a lot about light. Objects like these are SOOO dependent on the lighting around them. So why not make these into lighting and really lean into it. I think that’s where this is headed. We’ll know soon.
