Inspiration: carving as a path, carving as a flow
I used woodcarving as an old technique. In shape of my work I was inspired by structures made by bark beetle, who, as far as I am concerned, uses his intuition and sense for wood and creates beautiful structures, yet he only search for food. As him, I was trying also to follow the properties of wood.
In comparison i used laser cutter. This tool, if your template is in jpg not in vector, doesn't go through but stay on surface.
Inspired by experience of others, I was hoping for deep and divorced structures and also darker colours made by flame.
Yet the result is bit inconvenient to me. I am thinking now to use more layers of the image template and adjust the machine.
For a example of my personal challenge in materials I used plasma cutter.
I have never worked with metal and flames.
I was interested in how this rough metod can actually take down expresive and impulsive way of drawing.
As an work made in workshops session I made examples of curved wood, which is caled "kerfing". It actually also served me as an more acurate example for material pushed to the limits. I tried to use Meso structures. It is a drawing which uses priciples of chemical meso compound. It is accesible on the internet as an template.
Kerfing is widely used for many purposes. Amongst all can also serve instead of joints, for example in book binding or interior design (chairs, lamps, various boxes). As I was searching internet I was impressed by use of wood in many different and not completely expected ways. One of them is Elisa Strozyk who became famous for her wooden carpetsand use her way of compositin wooden triangles also in fashion design.
Other was Stefanie Nieuwenhuys, who recycled wooden trash from other project and turn it into a impressive "snake skin alike" dresses.
For my final project I decided to stay with wood as a material. I was inspired by strict geometry of wood kerfing but decided to use it in my own way and portray this "new function" of wood in video and "glorify" it a bit as I am an animator.
