“UNSAFE”
COLLABORATIVE SCULPTURE
125sqft bank safe, featuring a fully-functional 3D printed vault door and pulley system.
wood, acetate, metal, and 3D printed filament, 5x5x5’, 2024
My key contributions to this project included machine woodworking, assembly, painting, and transport of sculpture to exhibition space.
To make this piece, I learnt how to use a router, miter saw, table saw, jig saw, nail gun, and how to install metal hinges. I managed the creation and assembly of the outer structure.
I also made all of the innards for the sculpture/installation myself, which required 3D-printing a stencil for the burlap sacks, learning how to spray paint, and printing over 1,000 individual fake dollar bills.
This sculpture was a project in one of my woodworking classes. We were the only team to incorporate CAD design into our project and to receive an invitation to exhibit our piece at the Stanford Design School.
Creating this piece sparked my interest in CAD tools, namely Autodesk Fusion.
