Part of the Pattern as Expression course was to do some laser cutting as it is a good way of making precise patterns in a wide area, we were asked to do a William Morris design or our own design. I wanted to conclude a piece that I have been working on previously, which is more of a graphic design piece. It's a series of numbers and the pattern I have been using is a repeatable pattern of outlines, layered on top of each other to create an effect of moiré. The numbers came out lovely! For my final piece I'm thinking of doing something graphic and linear, working with angles and I like the transparent material.

Lasercut workshop with Isabelle. Our brief was to choose a font, write the name of the font using the same font and in illustrator make into an object. I decided to go for Braggadocio because of its hard and sharp edges. It's a stencil font and I thought it would look amazing as an object, almost like lego built together into a font. The material is 3mm thick acrylic sheet in turquoise.
