Layered Geometric Art
Surfing the web one day, I came across a gorgeous geometric layered wood poster that someone had made. I was mesmerized. "I could do that," I thought. And so I did.
The first design that I came up with, knowing nothing. To this day it's my favorite.
My first test cut using MDF.
The final version made from wood, after staining and gluing.
After that initial poster I was hooked. This is from later that week. Left to right: Jake the family dog, an homage to one of my favorite movies, and a clock of my design.
The clock as it hangs now on my grandmother's wall. The joy for me was in making, and I would come hang them for any family or friend who wanted it.
A stained glass window inspired piece.
A wall garden with a built in light and individually adjustable pots and integrated drainage system. Made on a small laser cutter in the bedroom of my NYC apartment (hence the sections). All of the plants you see were grown from seeds. I originally made it for myself with no intention of selling, but after popular demand, I refined the design and launched HERBINDOOR.
A famous Basel poster that I recreated as an homage to my Swiss ancestry.
A chess board made to resemble the board from the Chess app. A video of the project is on Pinewood Slurpy.
A closeup of the chess board. Each chess piece was made of multiple layers/sections. It was a tedious process but a beautiful result.
A retro wooden clock to house my iPhone. I utilized a magnetic (magsafe) charger to hold the phone in place. The iPhone has a neat feature of turning into a clock when charging and horizontally oriented. The snooze button! A video of this design + build is on the Pinewood Slurpy channel.
A minion apple watch charger. 3D made from painted layered plywood with the charger embedded. The apple watch serves as the minion's goggles. A video of this design + build is also available on Pinewood Slurpy.
A wooden jewelry box with drawer and soft lining. Another Pinewood Slurpy video.
Grateful Dead bears, requested by a friend for his newborn son. Each bear is about 8" tall.
Here's the photo I used for the first Jake poster.
I created a graphic of his face and then filled the background with his favorite foods: cheese, challah, watermelon, and string beans.
All cut out.
Stained and glued.
