*** SUMMER STUDIO SALE *** Although I have grown *** SUMMER STUDIO SALE *** Although I have grown attached to many of my creations, I am clearing my archive of artworks produced in the last few years to make room for new projects. These pieces are made with my head, heart and hands working in collaborative harmony with tools, materials and processes that allow me to transform geometric designs into something tangible. Exploring the territory between the flawless perfection of geometry in the imagination and the imperfect, beautiful, vibrating physical reality of these designs in our three-dimensional world, is what inspires me to keep making this work. Your support in giving these pieces a home allows them to bring beauty and joy to a new place, but also allows me to continue my work, to keep pushing the boundaries of geometric design and the processes which bring them into the physical realm for all to contemplate and enjoy.

This constitutes a turning point where I have shif This constitutes a turning point where I have shifted my digital workflow to solely use Rhino for analysis, construction and modelling of patterns which I can then output as digital images and as 2D and 3D files for fabrication. I was previously using a combination of Geogebra, Illustrator and Blender and often battling with the idiosyncracies of each. I would still use these for their strengths but Rhino is a real dream to use and I'm finding much more satisfying and efficient paths to make my work. There is much more to discover too and Grasshopper is a whole other story! #drawing #patterns #rhino3d
