Pivoting Planes - I designed this piece as 30 individual planes, each of which is a transitional phase between the first plane (the outline of a traffic light) and the last plane (an abstract depiction of an intersection). After cutting the planes from paper and arranging them in order, I used SolidWorks’ lofting function to model and eventually fabricate a scaled version of the piece out of ABS plastic using a 3D printer.
