Series One… The Cube

This exhibition shows the journey of a simple line drawing developed through Corel Draw, laser cutting and Photoshop, to create a complex pattern. My interest is in taking a 2D image into a 3D object and then back in to 2D. Bringing the different textures and shades of the laser cut objects in to the complex patterns creates a sense of depth and the material properties of the 3D forms are emphasised through process.

The series ends with the cube, which is a pause in the journey. The possibility of shapes that can be transformed through process and materials is endless. This holds a great fascination for me.
