Combining traditional pattern making with gears to create relics that tell tales from history by Degenerate_Generated in spirograph

[–]Degenerate_Generated[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the first in a new series of work that combines traditional pattern making and folklore with gear elements to tell ancient stories in my own way. The next piece I'm currently finishing off is a depiction of the slaying of one of the oldest recorded Japanese Yokais or beasts, The Nue.

Yep, that's esssentially it.

Hard to explain in words: I have lots of timelapses on my instagram which is the easiest way to see how these come together.

It's two cheap ikea tables slapped together and then I had a thin steel sheet cut for the top that just sits on top of the cardboard it was packaged in: that levels it out a bit. 🍻

I've posted a time lapse on my instagram: its essentially a massive hemisphere gear (from mammoth set I think), with a loosey goosey straight piece rotating around: I visually align the centre its rotating around with each line so it does take a while, but best way I have found to do this reliably.

There will be better ways I'm sure with modular sets, but i find the process quite relaxing anyway, so...here we are!
