Making this model ended up being quite difficult. There were measurements that I did not take into account. As the model expanded in construction I was faced with problems of presenting each individual piece as a flush volume or a volume that has more random qualities within its overall placement. As my model fattened and time withered away.... I decided to churn out the form the original design, following the same pattern but creating added themes to the composition through colour and seemingly random placement of some pieces.
The process of designing, then tightening ideas with small maquettes, then solidifying those ideas through CAD in order to communicatate with CNC reuter is long in itself. But then, painting each individual piece, gluing, joining, lighting and re-sanding are all time consuming exercises by themselves. This design has many small crevices and spaces that are generated from the pattern. Once all ten ribs were connected to the curved backboard, I had sealed the deal on the spacing....I had to now go with it and continue to close or open each individual space within the overall model.
