LEVITATE is a series of free floating (levitating) sculptural objects. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of sources as disparate as Buckminster Fuller's visions of floating, airborne habitats (eg. Cloud Nine), to contemporary kite-making, the objects are an exploration of perceived mass, occupied volume,recursive geometry, and objective lightness. The fabrication of the sculptures is a precise undertaking, occupying a place at the intersection of art, design, technology and engineering. Complex and customized three dimensional joints are fabricated using 3D printers, and go through an iterative process of rapid prototyping and improvement.
