Monday evening I spent 2 hours in the Digital Fabrication workstation with tutor Jennifer O Riordan making a large scale version of the Mayfly wing on the laser cutting machine scaled up from my first prototype from last weeks trial.
The result is an interesting effect of burn within the detail of the wings structure by going through the process the piece has a broken , degraded , temporariness to demonstrate fragility and at the same time durability within life , its cyclical nature and restoration.
