2D Fabrication

 For this project, I (once again) worked with Gigi and Jádé to create a piece inspired by opal gemstones. As a group, we spent a while choosing which colors of acrylic we would use to create our work, then set about determining how to approach the idea.

Using digital layering and paper visuals, we were able to work out a plan for what our cuts would look like.

After this, we designed and printed 7 different layers (one removable) to stack on top of each other for the desired effect. Our main goal was to maintain a sense of depth and allow the piece to catch the light in unique ways.
