Weeks 9-11 Serial Slice Studies
Week 10 & 11 Blog
Task: Pick one of the two AlienArtist models and serial slice in Rhino in preparation for Laser Cutting
Process: Serial Slice
Tools: Rhino, two ProfScott tutorials, Laser cutter, dowels, Aqua-Resin
I chose to serial slice my AlienArtist (SwappO) relief. It ended up being 58 vertical slices.
Here is an in-process images of aligning slices on two wooden quarter-inch dowels as guides.
Finished slice composition with extra slice # 42 which I lost one register on, and had to go back and re-register. I used both the original and a n eye-balled version. I did pretty good on the eye-balled approx!
After construction of the slices, the relief was sealed with a masking tape layer for form and Aqua-Resin appliqué.
Here was the useful Aqua-Resin process that TAmanda put on the whiterboard.
I was lucky to have ProfScott use my serial slice for an Aqua-Resin demo!
Finished, with three coats of Aqua-Resin, ready for paint.
ProfScott suggested augmenting the texture of the surrounding frame by using plaster bandage. I loved the idea and loved the effect. Thanks Prof!
I then spray-painted my piece with a Gloss Black spray paint.
A look at my spray palette that I accumulated. Not quite airBrush capable!
Pepa(Spray)Ron helped with with his 'patented' speckle-spray application method to simulate "Star Field"! Thanks Ron!
