Fall Workshop: Optical Illusion project
So, in my STDA (Studio) Fall Workshop class, we were assigned to create a 3d object that had to have some kind of illusion. My inspiration for this project was this:
The artist name is Michael Murphy, and he created these sculptures like this:
So that's what i wanted to do for my project. The only difference is that I wanted to try something different. I wanted to try to create an image that was full frame, and that wasn't a clear, front portrait. So I took this image:
And then I took it into photoshop and edited it a little bit.
This is what I got after editing it a lot. After that, I got it laser cut, by the laser cutter that our school has. It was such a cool process! But unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, or else I would have documented the entire process. Now, the tricky part is trying to figure out how to suspend the actual cut out pieces and get them to look right. I'm still trying to figure that out, mainly because it's so tricky! But, I'm seriously pressed for time; this project, plus three others are due this week! (24-28) I don't know how I'm going to survive; but I'm going to have to.
Such madness.
