process and prototypes
Screen shot of sculpure development in fusion 360
Parts for assembly. Pla printed forms, electronic components
prototype shell development
paint palette. transparent oil paint.
alizren crimson, pyrolle orange, yellow gamboge, prussian blue, ultra marine blue
colour trials on pla
experiments with placing the forms for a corner location
repositioning the servo motors to the shell forms
colour trial for shell forms
arduino and breadboard placement for the sculpture
3d printing forms for "Bulb". They are surrounded by "tree" supports, beautiful fractal growths generated by the printing software.

Pla support material and trial prints. Collected to be composted in an industrial composting facility.
pla needs consistent heat and aeration to decompose to its constituent elements.

Modelling forms in fusion 360 and then printed.
Experiments in combining scans of organic objects and geometrically modelled forms.
Exploring print profiles (setting in the printing software) to manage transparent PLA.
The form on the left uses a modified profile. The one on the right, standard.
I working on design for elements for a sculpture to retract when a viewer comes within a specific proximity. It is inspired by seaworms and tubular hydroids. The delicate flower like structures retract into a protective tube when threatened.
I am working on a design that is print in place. The hinge mechanism is printed as one piece with the moving parts and base. The plan is for it to move smoothly in an out of the tube shaft and unfold smoothly.
.work in progress
Tube forms exploration.
The 1st is shaped on fusion.
The next is a 3d scan of a banksia seed head, managed and shaped in fusion 360
