fabrication – week 3

Laser Cutter hand-eye mask

This week we were tasked to work with the laser cutter. I’m always thinking about the performing arts context, so I designed a mask for the character I’ve been developing this semester: the Fire Bird.

I bought two pieces of acrylic at Canal Plastic orange and teal transparent. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was working with Illustrator for the first time….the laser cutter is a big discovery for myself and I’m pretty happy with the mask design – got amazing feedbacks as well. I want to improve the design – make it more reliable and comfortable for the face and maybe develop a series of masks/glasses.
