Toymaking: The Harperbolic Paraboloid
http://theharperbolicparaboloid.tumblr.com/
There are lots of ways to make beautiful music - we just chose to make a 10-foot harp that can (essentially) exist in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. We're working on the fourth.
After a short stint in the Granoff building's basement gallery, the structure was left for the Providence public to enjoy. It was played with for weeks before being taken down.
Personal contributions to the project include conceptual modeling, building, and project documentation.
