I really enjoyed this project. Laser cutting is an amazing medium that presents so many possibilities. Besides being able to cut nearly any design with the laser, my favorite part of working with the laser cutter was the multitude of materials that could be cut. Cardboard, wood, foam, and plexiglass were all at our disposal and each reacted slightly differently to the laser. I chose cardboard for this project because I liked that it made the piece seem casual and unlike an art object. To see an intricate design on such a simple material creates an intriguing contrast. I also chose to work with etching and not cutting because I though it would make the small details of the design stand out more. I like to think that this could be used by a paranormal investigator on the go. I really loved working with Sohee and Andrew because they gave such clear and concise instructions that made the intimidating process very easy to understand.
