5 Book Back

This is the last book I made for a final in a bookbinding class. I actually had the idea for this book about 6 months ago and it evolved into this CNC routed and engraved MDF covered book that has five different sections.

Backyard Aquaponics

The backyard garden is something that my roommate and I have been working on since the weather has permitted. We use containers to plant in so they can be easily moved and worked on since we have limited space. We also have the an aquaponic system made from the same parts as the one I had in the studio. It will be interesting to see how it fairs outside.

Push

push Flatware Set

Push flatware was inspired by the traditional style steak knife that uses two different materials (wood and stainless steel). Using laser cut corrugated cardboard and acrylic, push makes for a juxtapostion of materials that uses the corrugations to hold the acrylic in place as rivets or pegs would on a traditional steak knife.
