Undulating
Digital Crafting in Glass & Visual communication Design
'Undulating' is a glass design work, which consists of six glass cubes and a wooden box. Each piece of glass represents a kind of earth surface: Grasslands, Mountains, Waves, Cities, Pyramids and Terraces.
The wooden box as a plate is used to collect and arrange the glass pieces;
In order to show the surfaces undulating textures better, I polished the sides and bottom of each piece, and hollowed out the box, so that the viewer could enjoy the details inside the glass from another side.
“起伏”是一件玻璃设计作品，它由六个方形的玻璃块和一个木盒构成。每一块玻璃都展现了一种地表形态：草地、山峦、海浪、城市、金字塔和梯田。
木盒作为一个放置盘将玻璃块收集排列起来。为了更好地展示其表面的起伏纹理，我将每一块玻璃的四周和底部都进行了抛光处理，盒子底部制作成镂空，以便于观看者从另一个角度反向欣赏玻璃内部的细节。
This work applies digital casting technology to explore the relationship between digital ways and traditional crafting. Each piece of glass was modeled using the Rhinoceros, then printed into a PLA piece using 3d printers. After that it was made into glass pieces, finished by grinding and polishing by hand.
本作品运用到数字铸造技术，旨在探索数字技术与传统工艺铸造之间的关系。每一件玻璃都是由Rhinoceros软件建模之后通过3d打印机打印成形，再铸造成玻璃件，最后手工打磨抛光完成。
