Scanned Wood Drawings
The Scanned Wood project began by collecting pieces of rotting wood. The pieces were then scanned using a 3D scanner. The 3D scanner creates a digital replica of the surface of the original wood piece. Using CAD based software, the detail of the geometry is reduced, and the vectors are then drawn with pen on news print and drawing paper respectively. For me the mediation and translation is the most valuable component of the final work. Each could be printed, but the use of human hand to recreate the computer's lines, that were generated from a natural object creates a compelling relationship of contemporary media and hand made process.
