Laser Cutter Example: “Dreamcatcher” by Marilène Oliver (2009)
“Dreamcatcher” by Marilène Oliver is a sculpture consisting of of laser cut acrylic and ostrich feathers. The life-sized female form, suspended and floating in a dark void, was created using 3D scan data from an anonymized female form called “Melanix.” Each slice being a cross-section of the body, together the layers create the impression of a form that is at once solid as a human body should be, and hollow as a ghost of the true form.
