no-destination/2011 It originates from my fascination with quarter circles. I have made two-dimensional works with arcs and had been searching for a way to make three-dimensional sculpture with them. It happened when I was interested in learning 3d modeling software “Rhino” and CMC milling machine. My interest in the work, “no-destination” was to explore the possibility of making a work, with an integration of technology, which has a reference to life and evolution. In Rhino, I simply drew two different size quarter circles vertically along the axis (the short one on the top and the larger one at below) and revolve to make a three-dimensional form. Then, the lower end of the short arc is connected to the upper end of larger arc and the connection point move fifteen-degree away from the axis. (The center point to determine 15 degree is the upper end of the short arc.) With fifteen-degree increments of opening, there are ten different shapes drawn until the form won’t evolve any more. The importance to use the CMC milling machine was to attain the mathematical accuracy in all the form. Machine lines were intentionally left on the milled models and plaster molds were made off of the models. I pressed chunks of clay in to the molds to create brain-like organic lines within defined geometric shape; this is where machine meets hands. The objects are laying on one-inch thickness of 100% wool felt.
