I'm still feeling quite low and was pleased to make it into university to use the laser cutter this week, if nothing else. I used the bark pattern to engrave on to the white vinyl again but enlarged the pattern. Unfortunately this meant that most of my allocated time was spent on this one piece due to the size and detail involved. I used the remainder of my time to engrave a section of the pattern onto some ply but with a few sections cut out. This worked well and I would like to explore this further - cutting out more of the pattern and perhaps using the spaces left to introduce different materials and/or textures. I have booked the laser cutter for the week after the Easter holidays in order to develop this idea further.
I am relieved to have been given an extension to the deadline for the submission of my journal and tasks and just hope I am well enough to complete these over the holidays.
