process piece:the genesis of my piece. Footage of

one of my favorite techniques for getting out of a creative
slump. (play small) (play large)

to be played concurrently on a separate monitor. It seemed funny

coffee table: the
first in a series of genetically modified furniture pieces contained
within the cellular house. The furniture was created using a
homemade script that modified the model's topology based on

pleasing was chosen, modified again by hand, and rendered. (play small) (play large)

favorite furniture design, and my first excuse to use fur-shading
techniques. The couch is a semi-living entity that adapts to
the user's mood and desired position. (play small) (play large)
lamp:script
generated lamp. I let this one get a bit farther into its scripted
growth before rendering it. The result is a less recognizable
form. (play small) (play large)
