Lightsaber
Stainless Steel, Brass, ABS, Leather, Wood-filled PLA, Polycarbonate, Adafruit Feather
Telegraph Key
2021, 175x110x75mm
Wood-filled PLA, Forged Copper, Arduino Leonardo
This modernized Telegraph Key speaks to the way technology has impacted the way we communicate across time and distance. With hand-forged copper keys and a 3D-printed wooden base, an enclosed microcontroller translates Morse code and can be used as a computer keyboard via Bluetooth or USB.
‘Seed Pod’ Pendant
2022, 315x70x35mm
Copper, Brass, Cast Bronze, Sterling Silver, Fluorite, and Waxed Cotton Cord
For this project, I wanted to take the opportunity to experiment with the organic form potential of metal casting from 3D printed parts. The petals were designed in Rhino and 3D printed in a castable resin which was used to produce bronze parts. The ‘seed pod’ blooms open like a mouth to expose the fluorite crystal inside, while the ‘roots’ terminate in a spring-loaded brass clasp. My goal was to create an alien object that doesn’t feel like it belongs to any specific time or place—somewhere between grown and constructed.
Infinity Aperture
2022, 230x55x130 mm
Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Nickel Silver, Acrylic, PETG, Wood, Arduino Uno
This device forms a portal through space and time, inspired by the concept of a McGuffin: the often extraordinary objects that help drive the stories we love. Sliding the lever opens an aperture revealing an infinity mirror whose lights react to touch through a capacitive sensor.
Crystal Pendant
Quartz Crystal, Brass, Copper, PLA, Adafruit ItsyBitsy, Lithium Battery
2020, 470x21x132mm
This pendant houses a lithium-ion battery and a tiny microcontroller that lights up the Quartz crystal when you touch it. As you move around in your environment or things pass by you, a series of photoresistors react to the ambient light and change the color balance of the LEDs.
