CNC BIGINK
Printed in collaboration with BIGINK, this piece was carved into a sheet of MDF using a CNC router and V-bit. The image shows a 100 object transformation series, generated as 3 dimensional forms in Rhino prior to flattening and assigning different line styles.

Two copies available, contact for further details.
CNC Portrait series
Generated from a photograph interpreted through a Rhino heightfield and Grasshopper scripting, the portrait series explores the legibility of a tonal image through various patterns of CNC carving.
A V-bit is used as the carving bit, and the depth of the carving translates to a wider or narrower material removal.

Optic Print
A diptych print that pairs two concentric designs in close proximity. An 1/8" carving bit was utilized with a CNC router to cut perfectly round paths from linoleum blocks.

Line Test
Developed as a preliminary exploration for the CNC BIGINK design, Line Test illustrates line widths and fidelity using a V-bit to CNC carve into an MDF block.
Depths and spacings from this test were identified and translated to the large scale final print.
