String Bean Theory, 2013

These pieces are an exercise in taking a technique to the limit. Drawing inspiration from the brinkmanship of wood turning, I have tried to create pieces that show off the abilities of CAD software and the CNC router through the use of a fragile and non-uniform material - wood. In the process I also tried to find ways to bring a sense of the organic into the domain of the rational - the computer.
