To understand the form of Reframe, Taylor modelled with clay for the first time in an effort to ape the capabilities of the CNC. Initially, she was going to make a single piece from hard maple before being persuaded to expanded the project by her mentor, Adam Markowitz. ‘He was really interested in how we could create a different effect and explore different material hollows. ‘I also found I wanted to explore the five axis CNC machine that the manufacturer Evostyle owns. I was thinking through the lens of the technology that would actually create the piece.’ Each layer is cut differently to expose the wood’s flesh.
