Final Crit

This the setup for my fall semester final critique.  It is still a maquette of what I envision the finished piece.  I have decided to finish the surfaces with bright colors.  These were with spray paint, but the finished ones will be with glaze.

This is a rendering of the pieces I am making and how they might look installed in a space.

CNC Vase

I decided to use the CNC milling machine to create one of my vases.  Due to size restraints, because of the length of the cutting bit, I sliced the form into segments.  They would then be put back together to make the plaster mold.

Please excuse the seam line on the neck.  I still need to do a little more sanding.

Work in progress

These are paper maquettes of the work, that I had cut from paper with the laser cutter.

 

To make the work, I first had jigs cut out of acrylic using a laser cutter.

I would then mount the templates to an arm and trim the form from wet plaster.

                                      

I am making the vases in parts.  These are the plaster models, with the parts stacked to, illustrate how the final product will look.

3d Rhino Renderings

These are a series of renders of work that I intend to produce.

Thesis Fall 2011

Below is a series of images which reflect some of the work I have been doing this semester.

I was thinking about the vase as a construction of separate parts.
