Initial Ideas

It's not everyday you get a chance to play around with state-of-the-art technology, so I'm hoping to use it to create something that just couldn't be made in my little workshop.

All my jewellery is based around the idea of exploration and discovery - the delicate structures are a mesh of tiny pathways and holes for the eye to explore. I have often wondered what they would look like from an ant's eye view - if you were small enough to really get inside and crawl around. So, using Rhino and possibly a great big 5-axis CNC machine, I am hoping to recreate this texture on a life-size scale... I have yet to find out if it's actually possible, but if it is I am in the right place to do it!
