OBDF Show

 Below are my favourite pieces that were entered in the Object Design Show. I was most drawn to the pieces showcasing fine line work or different mark-making styles. There were so many amazing and creative pieces, but these are the ones that I found myself going back to view several times.s What I found interesting about this piece was the symmetry of the design and the variance in the mark-making. The wings of the butterfly are perfectly symmetrical, with very fine mark-making. The line work is so fine that I find it difficult to believe that it was made by a computer if it weren't for the fact that there is not a single flaw in those lines. However, the butterfly's body,y,r, breaks up the symmetry. The thorax is made with rough, scratchy lines, and the head is a pattern of a microscopic slide. Having this portion not symmetrical makes the piece visually interesting to look at. Another aspect that works well within this piece is that the lines are not contained.  By another l...

Bespoke Object Revisited Process Blog #2

  This week I built my prism in Rhino so that I could build a piece that would friction fit and hold the piece together rather than using screws. Since most of the pieces sit at a 90-degree angle, I only had to make one piece and then make a boolean difference so that each piece doesn't slice so that when I went to laser cut, there would be slots for the pieces to sit through. There were some problems with laser cutting, such as the red and blue pieces not being laser cut all the way through, so I spent considerable time removing the pieces by hand. Some pieces were cut enough that I could push them out by hand, but for some of the more intricate pieces, I needed to use a Dremel and small files to push them out.  Once all the pieces were removed, I spray-painted the back of the coloured pieces with silver paint. Now, I am beginning to assemble the prism.

 This week, I made fixes to my original laser-cut layout. This included making sure every piece would be slotted into each other securely for the assembly stage and adding another hole for where it will be hung from the ceiling. I also took measurements of how much acrylic material I had left and laid out the plan accordingly just to make sure that I would have enough material to make the prism. I have my laser cut appointment on Monday the 17th. Then, I can begin assembling both prisms. I have also been thinking a lot about how I would hold these pieces together. I like the idea that was mentioned in the proposal about using 'hot' connections, or connections that were not trying to hide that they were connections. I like this idea, and it complements the epoxy method I used by not trying to disguise how it is held together. I have been looking at different ways but the one I like the most is using screws and 90 metal plates. I like this method as it will be very secure and str...
