| So this is how I started, carving letters out of a book block |
 |
| I had wanted the edges of the negative and positive shapes to be very clean |
 |
| Building the template for the positive shapes |
 |
| First trials for the bridges |
 |
| Another variation, drilled |
 |
| Drilled but not quite what I was seeing |
 |
| Braille variation |
 |
| How about a bath, Variation #? I've lost count |
 |
| After the bath |
 |
| OK, try something else, letters done with gyproc filler, layer one on top of the other, each letter erases the next |
 |
| Find Will at Charm City Laser, 1st trial |
 |
| I'm liking this |
 |
| Opening the laser cut magazine |
 |
| X, detail |
 |
| Z, detail of the positive and negative shapes |
What an amazing process! I love the way you've explored this.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love the way you pull out the letters and photograph them. Was the laser cutting expensive? Beats hand cutting by a mile. My husband is a sculptor and has had sheet metal laser cut for a series of bird sculptures. But I never thought of applying it to paper until now.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo and Confused, thanks for your comments, the $#@# piece is still not finished, the steel letters were suppose to be done last week , I am still waiting for them, The paper laser was pretty resonable , but next time I would use much heavier paper, they are very tricky to remove and not tear, bigger bridges next time. Can't wait to see how the steel ones look, will post when I finally get them.
