Pulling the Dragon Curve like Teeth

Wire Mesh Dragon Curve

ugh, this was tedious...

It was like pulling teeth, and I did it more than once because I’m just that obsessive. This is a few iterations (upwards above 64?) of the Dragon Curve cut out of 1/4″ wire mesh. The grid of the mesh translates really well to the form, but obviously the more complex the curve (more iterations) the hard it is to ’see’ the curve in the mesh. Even marking the lines with a sharpie becomes tedious and hard to visualis. Maybe I’ll move on to a large grid-mesh and it will be easier. I do like the intricacy of the 1/4″ size, though.

Latest project. There will be 77 of these suspended from a series of cords to form a message. Using different bb’s to express the order of the binary. steel is 1; copper is 0. They are counter sunk into a small piece of wood which is held in a plastic package. I’m still doing research on the title to see where it came from.

Generated Statements

03 | November | 2010

Just playing around with some poster styles with an artist statement. These were done in an old program I have called n-Gen, which takes text you enter–a headline, a subhead, and a body–and runs it through modular algorithms based on style. The captions are the modules that were used to create each poster.
