Inspiration: carving as a path, carving as a flow
Old versus new
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, the direction and structure of fibre.
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.
Challenge
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 expressive and impulsive way of drawing.
Digital variant of this draving flow could be use of eraser in Illustrator, it is lately one of my favourite tools.
To the limits
While considering technique pushed to the limits, I decided to use materials, which inspires me or in which I found interesting. The first was a non woven textile used as a base for embroidery. It is a plastic, so I tried to go through it by flame
Second was a metal aluminium delicate grill, I was not very satisfied with it. And the last one I used a [kaolin paper].

It is very firm and stable material, yet still has qualities of paper. I used carving tools and perforated it in manner of lace, as detailed as possible.
Workshop session
As an work made in workshops session I made examples of curved wood, which is called "kerfing". At the end, it actually also served me as an more accurate example for material pushed to the limits, because the pattern I used was too delicate to hold on. The deisgn is called Meso structures, it uses priciple of chemical meso compound. It is widely use in 3D printing, because plastic suits it best as a bendable material, but it can be also made by milling or cutting. It is accesible on the internet as an template and the most noteworthy design is a bowl. On contrary id simple kerfing meso structures alows you bend the wood in all directions, not only up/down. [1]
Kerfing is widely used for many purposes. Among 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 carpets and use her way of compositing 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.
Final project
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. I stayed ispired by the structure of kerfing, smell of burned wood, mellow colors. It somehow remained me honey, bees, bee hives and honeycombe structures, which also can be used for kerfing and are very beloved by designers as it gives "maximum of music for minimum of money" (czech proverb). I stayed with this thought as I am basicly trying to bring maximum of animation for minimum of time and stay, let's say again in music jargon - tuned with inspiration.
