I primarily use found objects in my work, but sometimes that can be limiting if I don't have a specific shape in the color I want. To remedy this, I’ve been experimenting with 3D printed forms based on found objects. To keep it as sustainable as possible, I'm using Beyond Plastic filament, which is a fully compostable bio-polymer, and ReFlow filament made from recycled food containers. Both filaments print great on a Prusa MK4 and a Creality K1 Max.
This series will be first exhibited at the Silver Fern Fiddlehead gallery in Cookeville, TN this July.
