Scale 2 - Jewellery Box/Drawing Board
Above are the pieces which make up the finished drawing board, at scale 1:1. I modified the original pin which allowed me to "lock" the panel more securely with a pin. This slots through holes in the staple, which now protrudes outwards! This was to change the aesthetic and also give the board strength for when it was being used. I also designed a new pin which solves the problem I had of how the table and base faces fitted onto the side panels. It also has a pin which is fed through holes in the staple. I also decided to "cap" the ends, giving strength to a delicate point and to finish it off nicely. The tip of the panel are now connected by a bronze "V" shaped piece which runs the entire metre length of the full-size drawing board, but does not affect the beautiful light patterning formed by the collection of the triangle points. Dimensions of the top and bottom plates are 1000mmx700mm, and the panels are 8mm in thickness, made from hard-wood.

One of my many laser-cutting files. I had acrylic, wood and patent leather laser-cut over the course of the project.

Here is the original materiality of the box. I wasn't happy with the finish so I went looking for alternate materials subsequently.

Here I am trying to work out how I will complete the panels of the Box.

The jewellery box houses the mask and operates as a drawing board for Spiller to work on his hand-drawings.
The panels are reconfigurable, allowing for changes in angle to the face.
Peter Zumpthor's Thermal Vaals was inspirational to me. Thinking about his clever use of light through slits combined with Neil Spiller's black ink drawings, led me to create an animation entitled 'Black Ink'. It became the starting point for my jewellery box.
