My process for creating work is the culmination of my research from the last fourteen years. This process begins with a Rhino drawing. Depending on the requirements of the project, I transform this drawing into a physical object by combining digital technology, such as CNC milling, laser cutting and 3D printing with analog hand-forming skills. The resulting object is often used to create molds for casting clay and other materials. My work encompasses a wide range of content, including furniture, tile and architectural installation, lighting, and pottery.
Since graduate school, I have spent my time designing and building custom commissions and continuing my exploration of fabrication tools. This research encompasses mastering more complex CNC milling operations using RhinoCAM, for 3 and 4 axis milling with the use of a rotary table attachment. I have also spent considerable time embedding this information into my course content at LSU and CSU. This includes developing online video trainings, and accompanying supplemental documents.
