The Pieces

How they are made

In the process, I hand-drew the pieces to scale and had them off to the person with the laser machine, who turns my drawings into vectors and laser-cuts the pieces out. In the case of the peace matrix (bird matrix), the same components are made multiple times so that I can re-arrange them in numerous ways. Flutter and Water both have fixed pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. Only the colors change in each version.

We tried laser cutting different materials and eventually settled on ⅛” masonite.
