Tree Replication

Segmented Tree Branch, String, 3D Printed Segment Replicas
Technology used: 3D Scanner, Makerbot Replicator
Created Spring 2013

The installation photos were a mock-up for the overall plan of replicating a tree branch by 3D printing branch segments and then suspending from a grid with red string. Conceptually, the red string represented the 3D information weaving through the grid of the computer software. 
After 3D printing half of the pieces, I realized that without the original branch, there was a loss of vital information. This led to experimenting with how to display the two matching segments together. The printed pieces are architectural and possess a quality of scale confusion.
