Trisha Barton

12” x 7” Wood, Plexiglass, Rope, & Cloth This piece was created using a laser cutter and basic carpentry tools. The title “Childish Waves” is used to describe the main components of the sculpture. A clip of the song So Fly by Childish Gambino was etched as sound waves on clear plexiglass. The technology used to build the sculpture included a router, sander, hot glue, and a laser cutter. The concept of sound holds a balance between harmonic and tactile properties.

Also referred to as a "PAL", or Purpose Application Lamp. Two mandalas were cut out in plywood, using Corel Draw.The cut outs were then stained. Three threaded rods were used to keep the lamp's form. The lamp's wiring threaded through the top of the lamp. A 60 watt multi-color LED light bulb was used for the lighting.

Students were assigned to appropriate from the internet and make new objects from them. Trisha used a lotus flower lamp light and an abstract lamp light from Thingaverse. She then took the two objects to Tinkercad in order to fuse the two concepts and idea of an ashtray together
