‘Physicals’ is a series of reliefs carved with a 3-axis CNC router into polyurethane model board. The artworks are based on CAM 3D models constructed on a computer.

All the objects appearing in the works are taken from popular online 3D object libraries. The commercially-available internet objects include user interface elements and digitally-constructed painterly brushstrokes.

The objects are subjected to multiple digital processes - some are broken down into fundamental solids, some are bent or extruded - before being placed together in dimensional compositions carved as monolithic physical objects. 

The artworks follow a complex process of production similar to commercial and luxury design fields, where the manufacturing of new and desirable aesthetic objects is achieved through regurgitation and strategic refinement. These techniques are also used in the field of art.

Breaking down these processes to produce alien forms and expressions, the series examines problematic and opaque cultures of production hidden within many of the physical objects present in life.
