William McKiernan Perspective Print

This print is a miniature model of what I hope to make a full size cardboard piece for the Cartasia contest. Inspired by the "Perspective" theme, I wanted to make a piece that had to be viewed from a specific position to see the full image. The build consists of eight pieces, placed at varying depths that from the die or top look meaningless, however when you reach the "sweet spot" you can see the image they form in the negative space.

For this project, I sketched a picture of the model, then uploaded it to Rhino. I drew curves around the shapes in the picture and then used a simple extrude to give them a three dimensional shape. I spaced them apart in even increments and arranged them into their current configuration.


 The image seen features a taller figure lending a guiding hand towards a smaller figure. They are leaning slightly to the right to give the indication that they are moving forward, progressing, looking to the future. Their hands meet in the middle, almost flowing into one another, to give a sense that they are united. Another theme of the build is that when something may not make sense at first, you should approach it from different ways to gain a different perspective, and see the message hidden away in the chaos.
