Serial Slicing final outcome Daniela Guarin

I've been updating what happened with my serial sliced piece. In the previous post I was at the grinding stages.

In process

I decided to incorporate other materials to the sculpture to make it more visually interesting. I wanted to add color to the wood too, but without losing the line detail, which is one of my favorite aspects of this technique.

 I had to try several different positions before committing to a base. I wanted to be a dynamic, rounded piece.

Beginning painting stages

 I used a mixture of blue and purple tints with polyurethane paint. After I finished the paint, it was a little too strong of a look, so I decided to sand it down while it was humid to give it a more textural look and to accentuate certain parts of the piece as well.

Adding more material

 Here is the final result:

For this project we had to chose a rhino model to create a sliced composition with cardboard. We could either worked with our previously scanned figure or we could try something new. I decided to try something spontaneous in rhino by adjusting the control points and moving the UVN. I came up with several little rhino sketches and I chose one that I liked to build my maquette from.

After the computer files where exported into AutoCAD format DXF, I was ready for building.
