This core is built from presicion machined, solid titanium,
Brass, Laser etched acrylic rod, LEDs.
This piece was inspired by my frequent trips to a particular scrap yard mastery of the Epilog Laser cutter
at the TechShop. The Titanium Core fits into the nukepunk aesthetic but harkens to a future of space travel
modular fuel technology
I love finding things and then forming thoughtful objects of excuisite crafstmanship from them.
It's a process of intuition within a body of knowedge
and technique tempered by the limitation of affordability and access. If I had all the money and
access to all the best materials, I might not make anything at all.
Cyber Core
Ever since a trip to the Rosicrucian Museum as a child I've been inspired
by eqyptian art, artifacts, and engineering. Many fun theories of ancient alien visitors rattle around inside my creative process
and sometimes manifest as art.
This Cyber Core is built from birch, LEDs, and Acrylic. The wood and the acrylic are laser etched with a circuit pattern from electronic music devices.
Assembled, they resemble some sort of ancient/futuristic space-ship part.
This is one of my favorite pieces. Each of the four acrylic rods has its own color changing LED, but they
blend with the others and produce an endless progression of subtly different white light.
Core Blocks
The Core blocks, replete with etched and color changing acrylic rods, represent
a long desired creative realization -- one that I have seen many artists use. It's the idea of piercing an object with another.
These wooden blocks are pierced with color changing fuel rods.
Lased Blocks
These blocks were the experiments that led me to create the Core works.
As I learned how to lase box joints and imagery onto birch ply, I began to reach a creative flow with the process and materials.
I very much intend to acquire my own laser machine ASAP.
Lased Boxes
My mother collects boxes. We don't know where the passion came from,
but apparently it is genetic. I have recently become aware of an abnormally large interest in boxes. Making them, finding them,
buying them, etc....
These boxes were always intended to be gifts, and most of them have been. I am excited to make more of these when I get my hands on a laser.
