OBDF310 Milestone Project 1: Stacked Slices

My current sliced model for this weeks blogpost. I wanted to test modelling an object in Rhino first and using the mesh as the starting point for the contour slices in grass hopper. I ended up experimenting on different extrusion depths and the vector direction for the slices.

Modularity of grasshopper allows for rapid iteration and gives me a couple of choices to pick from. I decided on the vector slices along the y-axis which gave me a very simplified version of the bird but still recognizable.

Rough model doesn't need to be detailed because the contour slices simplifies everything else.

P02: The Wishmaker

Project 02: The Wishmaker Wishmaker (2025) is an experimental video performance where I explore the intersection of personal aspiration and ecological contemplation. Central to the piece is footage of myself attempting to inflate a windsock fashioned as a whale shark adorned with stars, symbolizing the cosmos. Accompanying this imagery are audio recordings from 38 individuals responding to the prompt, "What do you wish for the most?" The participants were encouraged to imagine if there existed an entity capable of granting wishes, what they would ask for. The non-hierarchical arrangement of these recordings allows the piece to unfold organically, avoiding a prescriptive narrative. The choice of the whale shark motif reflects my fascination with its beauty and its profound ecological significance. By projecting participants' wishes into the sky through this iconic form, I aim to evoke a sense of interconnectedness with nature and the universe. While "Wishmaker...

REPLICATED/REMEDIATED: MOLD POSITIVES & MATCH PLATE

Last Supper 2023 Medium: Optimistic Students, Instructor, Acrylic, Plaster, Tape Site-Specific Performance We reached the end to this project and were building plaster mould's and finally some traumatic experiences with slip casting and lots of waiting. Good soup <3 We agitate plaster in water to facilitate an exothermic reaction that would lead into it solidifying. Its a great experience like making chowder or adding starch into boiling water except the water is freezing. Finishing this plaster mould. Before slip casting ensure that the mould plates are fully dry, once that is complete start pouring up to the rim and wait for the clay to precipitate. On the first try the clay did form around the plaster, mine but did not really dry but the first once is always di...

PO1 : Final Installation

Black River Media Installation Audio & Video Sculpture Black River is a media installation exploring displacement and the longing for a deep connection towards a kind of homeland. At its center is an Inflatable Crocodile—a puppet trapped in an unending karaoke performance, forever singing a song about its life. Though it has no voice, its presence suggests an eternal loop of longing, echoing unheard stories of loss. The work humanizes this fictional creature, evoking empathy and prompting reflection on our own connections to land. It investigates shifting ecological baselines—the way in which each living generation perceives nature’s decline as their “normal.” As ecosystems collapse, what we consider natural keeps shifting, obscuring what we’ve lost. Within this narrative , the crocodile longs for its polluted homeland and to be with other mutated crocodiles. Dwelling in a post-climate apocalypse where remnants of human industries remain and pollution becoming our final lega...
