Shimmering diamonds in the rough
Recycling components of hypnomoth into a more general-purpose jewel structure. Also added a hinge component to allow folding of the pieces for easier transport. Debut at a private Beats Music launch party (2/1/14)

Quadweave
A boxy spiral
Experiment with unconventional geometrical shapes in carpentry, and with weaving spiral perspectives / repeating shapes. The result is a pinwheel-like structure combining wood, metal, string, and LEDs. Recycling of mostly old code, but customized to take advantage of radial symmetry. Almost reminds me of a galaxy..

Triweave
Geometric dreamcatcher
Revisiting the use of weave to create line work. Added improvements to weave tautness and stability when integrating with wood, and also experimented with joining acute angles in carpentry. Equilateral triangle with a string dreamcatcher-like weave in between. The first piece to completely hide LEDs from view and produce a backlit effect. The use of indirect instead of direct illumination turned out nicely and helps prevent LEDs from being too bright.
Functions as an ambient wall piece, and also visually interprets musical input

Dreamcatcher
A mixed media ambient wall piece providing more than just color. Illumination.
An experiment combining a few of my hobbies: woodworking, LEDs, and geometric artwork. Sliced wood is suspended and held together with an intricate wire weave. Backlit by LEDs to accentuate lines & provide illumination.
