This project went through multiple iterations as I struggled to work with unfamiliar materials and hit my head against the wall multiple times. Regardless, I’m proud of my final results as it achieved the lighting effects I had originally conceptualized, which I had worried would be too difficult. My piece looks abstract when viewed in…

For my Light Art project, I created a “ship in a bottle” made from 15 stacked layers of acrylic. The ship is the HMS Surprise, from Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series. I started with a 3D model of the ship, divided it into cross sections, then laser engraved the outline of each cross section onto the…

It’s finally done… for now! In the last two weeks of the term I was able to get everything working just enough in order to be able to demo my project. Now that the term has ended, I can reflect on the process up to this point, and look forward to what could still be…

And just like that, the term is done! I had so much fun seeing everyone’s cool projects and working on my own this term. First I will begin this post with some progress shots from throughout the last few days that I was putting the pieces together. First is the large bumblebee, with a few…

My final project is a slightly larger than life size wire sculpture of a hand with water dripping from the pointer finger in multiple locations, sitting in a 10x10x10 black laser cut plywood enclosure filled with a few centimeters of water. With a strobe light I soldered from a kit that has a potentiometer able…

For the final presentation on Monday, I focused on getting all my light box layers created and bound in paper I had laser cut during the week. I initially intended for the paper to hold moving parts in place, but they were also useful for keeping magnets in line with each layer – so I…

This is 4 clear acrylic sheets that are engraved My project was a 4 sided edge lit box, the acrylic pieces were hand engraved using a Dremel. The idea was for the lights to catch the edges of the engraving in order to create a pleasing view. The original idea was to have the patterns…

This project was difficult. It incorporated new techniques that I had never used before and perhaps did not think I would ever use. I battled with the materials and myself to get it done. While this process proved to be difficult for me I really am happy with the work I produced so I’m mostly…

This piece, entitled “A 3D Printed Moment,” was created to combine the light art principles and methods that other famous artists we learned about earlier in the term have used, while also expanding into new techniques of my own, in this case, 3D printed lithophanes and older techniques known as Zoetrope images. Lithophane Idea From…

For my final project, I decided to make a projection box, I was inspired by some untitled pieces by Diet Wiegman where the reflections didn’t match the art pieces. I wanted to do something a little more of twisting reflections, I wanted to incorporate color and make it so there is more than one image…

For my final project, I chose to make an icosahedron infinity mirror. Originally, I was inspired by the presentation on Chul Hyun Ahn in class and other light artists, such as Yayoi Kusama. There was a giant mirror in one of my high schools hallways that I always thought was super cool as well. However,…
