Orange and Blue Sliceform – Richard Sweeny

Richard Sweeny makes exquisite geometric scultpures from paper, metal and synthetic materials. Check out his Flickr set of paper sculptures that are immaculately composed as if they were architectural structures. The play of light give the impression that they could equally have been made of code! His website has some interesting Sliceforms that utilise rapid prototyping to reproduce models from 3D rendering software :

‘Sliceforms comprise several interlocking sheets intersecting at right angles to create forms that suggest three dimensionality’.

    I got so excited by the subject that I wrote some software to create sliceforms myself with the computer.

    It’s a plugin for the free Google SketchUp software, you can find it at Public Art International’s website: http://www.public-art-international.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/200
