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'd love to focus more on this technique and maybe use the matrix as for printing.
