Moving the piece through light can create a shadow of colors. I enjoy experimenting with the light rays and seeing how the intensity of the light can obscure the piece.
1) I used Adobe Illustrator to create a draft of the piece. Note: I intended this to be my draft instead of the final product. By creating this draft I'm designing a foundation for the pieces before they are cut out.
2) After creating the draft on Adobe Illustrator I moved the file into Rhino. The Rhino program connects to the laser cut machine, thus giving me the pieces I need.
