PROCESS
My inspiration came from the digital 3D model representation of a saddle point, a point in a graph or function where the slope is zero but the point is not a local extrema of the graph. The first image shows my form development process, followed by material testing to find the correct laser cutter settings, and finally an in-progress shot of assembling the piece.
