Polylactic acid, mahogany, and danish oil

"I first turned to 3D printing as a way to generate broad, precise swaths of plastic that I could incorporate into larger sculptural
assemblages. Most of the prints themselves are extrusions of two-dimensional shapes rather than figurines or scale models that would
usually require a higher level of detail than a PLA extrusion printer is able to provide. Even in these pieces, the continuous slopes and
CAD curves come up against the limit of printable resolution, resulting in significant areas of sequential, visible layers of deposited
plastic. I have come to embrace this topography, as to me it is the material trace of how the 3D printer encodes information, like film
grain, or the scan lines of analog video.

All the constituent prints of each piece are mounted on mahogany hardwood, a species which was at one point used for the exteriors
of wood paneled cars. The wood has been shaped using a computer controlled milling system that functions similarly to the 3D
printer–however, it is a subtractive process, while the 3D printer is an additive one. These processes resolve each other, like identically
weighted values on opposite sides of an equal sign. I have taken to calling these pieces relief drawings, and treating the surface of the
relief as a unified, comprehensive volume, whose contours bear a plausible relationship to those in the drawings’ source, as if, at the
boundary of each piece, in whatever shape it may take, it has been edited, or cut out of the world.""
