Organic Form and Serial Planes

    

Beginning by developing an organic shape cast in plaster, I plotted points on the plaster model every 1/4 inch to replicate the form as accurately as possible. I recreated the form in a series of planes on chipboard, which were cut using a laser cutter.

I assembled the form with carefully placed 1/4 inch spacers made from basswood, and oriented it onto a wood block base, which I then painted with yellow acrylic paint along with the edges of the planes and the spacers.
