Given the geometric and structural nature of my ideas, this week I decided to use the laser cutter to create some clean edged pieces to start to play with to create structures and surfaces. Another reason for using this method is that it is a fairly new technique which I have never used before. I opted to use wood and perspex as they are both hard, structural materials that mimic my inspiration and concept. I like the quality of the mirrored perspex however the wood needs to be adjusted as wood brown is not in my colour palette. Enamelling the pieces may be the solution to this problem. I cut both triangles and hexagons as mentioned previously. My next job is to try to create a tessellating surface with the pieces I have cut.
