‘Physicals’ is a series of reliefs carved with a 3-axis CNC router into polyurethane model board. The artworks are based on CAM 3D models constructed on screen.
All the objects appearing in the works are taken from popular online 3D object libraries. These commercially-available internet objects include user interface elements, digitally-constructed painters brushstrokes and 3D primitives.
These separate objects are subjected to multiple processes before being placed together in dimensional compositions and carved into monolithic physical artworks. Each piece is a single presence from a design of many parts.
The artworks follow complex and opaque production processes commonly used for the manufacturing of new and desirable aesthetic objects through appropriation and strategic refinement.
