Laser Cut Patterns

I designed alternative backgrounds for my shadow puppet in Illustrator and cut them on the laser cutter. As I can no longer use the light studio I decided to look at alternative uses for the grids.

I really enjoyed this process. It was inspired by the fact I am now unable to use the lighting studio and also the fashion workshop with Susie, when we were using random objects to create shapes and then create patterns from them.  I will use both these processes again.

For my Final Major Project  I decided to make a fish puppet and wanted it to move.  I wanted to use a piece of fish work from the diagnostic project as the basis. This is was inspired by Bridget Riley’s style of work . My Bridget Riley inspired fish These are two areas that I explored and managed to do some development on before Vernon Street was closed. 3D Puppet After looking at different ways of creating a frame that could move, I used Illustrator to design a fish skeleton and laser cutting to create it. I managed to get to this stage. Laser cut fish made with mountboard Bookbinding spring holds pieces together/ allows movement Spring from a bound sketchbook My plan was to look at designing different shaped fish and re-create them using different laser cut materials (e.g. acrylic, ply) and then also look at creating differen...

Developing Fish Tails

I experimented with different mediums to create a fish tail.
