kinetic kopper





so the other night i decided it was time to start putting some of my tools to use making things other than architectural models......

i had some left over hammered copper and a little spare time.

what i did was use a script to pattern the holes in the surface of the sheet.  as the holes move from side to side the width increases or decreases.  as the holes move up and down the the height changes.  i then used a random number generater to determine the position of each hole, adjusting the seed number quickly creating (100) different random variations for me to choose from. 

the resulting pattern created what i thought was a fairly effective sense of movement across the surface of the piece. 

i am now experimenting with some dies to contour the metal......................
