I use 3D software as a tool for formalist abstraction. My work currently focuses on the reconfiguration of objects through their construction histories. When making an object in virtual space every action is recorded as a mathematical function, allowing for parameters to be changed after they are first applied. In theory this sounds extremely useful but in practice it often isn’t. Each function is applied on top of the previous, like a chain of sequential events. Changing an earlier state in the sequence causes later operations to become distorted. This peculiarity has become the focus of my practice.
