Exquisite Weapon

About the Piece:

The Exquisite Weapon is an interactive installation that evokes Governor's island's historical and transformative nature. The piece is in the shape of an unexploded bomb, with maple seed fins and other biomorphic elements. The weapon illustrates a temporary interruption in the destructive nature of creation. Its skin is composed of two-sided cartoon-like illustrations which evoke the dual nature of the island, its military significance and future ecological harmony. The occupiable cage-like interior of the piece allows the user to rearrange the skin's narrative into their own preferred juxtaposition of the horror of war and an eden-like beatitude. The weapon's tail displays a rotating teleidoscope that allows one to experience the view of a seed falling to earth or the path of a bomb bent on destruction.

The ipaddle

Here it is, the newest magical and revolutionary product from Cupertino...cut in birch ply wood on the CNC, also available in masonite, below. Update! Looks like Apple's director of Developer Relations is now in possession of one of these.

Mug design

A fun cafepress creation for my soon-to-be father in law. He really likes being retired.

My CNC setup

This is my Fireball CNC router. The case is lined with foam soundproofing. I'm using a small trim router with a 1/4" collet. I had a dremel on there for a while, but it was really lacking in power.

This case comes apart in two pieces. The bottom part houses the power supply, vacuum, and lots of spare parts and materials.

When cutting MDF, there is some kind of static reaction with the soundproofing and the vacuum hose. Interesting formations.
