an entire sailboat hull 3D printed with recyclabled plastic

Sailboat hulls are made out of varying materials, But each of these varying materials takes a piece of the environment and is then dumped when not in use.This makes up a certain percentage of plasticwaste on the earth.What if, All this can be upcycled, turning waste into usable materials. Not only would this reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment, But it would also increase…

Each piece starts with a sketch usually drawn at a Starbucks where I feed off the energy of the caffeine filled environment. I sketch using a form of automatic drawing where my hand draws a thing before my mind determines what that thing is. I don’t have a studio as my computer is the space I use to build the world I am creating and I think of this process more as play than work. I have no interest in the traditional roles and spaces of the Artist. I don’t even think of my work as “Art” as there is a danger in that, I just think of it as what I love to do. I would be more suited in a playroom than a studio and think of my computer as a toybox rather than a tool. When creating the work I use a three dimensional modeling software called Maya. The great thing about that is that when I am in the virtual space, I find forgotten things I put there long ago, things like a picture of my sister in a locket hidden inside a dresser drawer or a folded love letter from my wife.
