MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION PROJECT
DIRECTIONS: We were told to create emergent architecture using a 24x18 inch piece of matt board and the laser cutter. The files for the cutting needed to be created in Adobe Illustrator with a 0.0001 pt stroke and have a 0.125 inch border around the exterior of the board in order to prevent the laser from jumping off the matt board.

STATEMENT: My goal with this project was to transform our designated material, matt board, into something it would normally be used for; I chose to make it emulate origami paper. I created a giant "origami paper crane" with the laser cutter. I suspended my bird from the ceiling to further the bird theme and to push the boundaries of the material mat board.
