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

Neopolitan

3 little windows of light

A project improving design principles incorporating wood & plexiglass. Similar concepts to Hexagon but with improvements in perceived motion and efficiency of LED usage. Also added code to utilize the geometrical freedom provided by 3 separate but linked windows.
