About This Project

A set of 8 wooden sculptures carved out of 100mm maple wood planks. Dimensions range between 1m to 3m wide, the number of mini wooden cylinders range between 2,500 to 13,500 units per sculpture, with a height of 15 to 42mm. This set of sculptures has been produced by the Studio Cyril de Commarque, for the exhibition Artificialis at Saatchi Gallery, in London.

 

I developed a script that crowded and randomised the sticks locations to avoid snapping while machining. The minimum distance between the trunks couldn’t be under 7mm and the smallest machineable diameter was of 3 mm.
