Towards the final project

by Jenine Bressner

IMG_3730.JPG I've been lasercutting a lot of textiles for a while now. My diorama will be illuminated by a chandelier of lasercut textile and flameworked glass plants. IMG_3880.jpg -1.jpg The LEDs will be attached to a photosensor. As ambient light fades, the LEDs will get brighter. IMG_3877.jpg These are LEDs that will be within the textile plants.

I assembled these form studies to get a better sense of scale for larger chandeliers. 4. Crafts.jpg 5. Crafts.jpg I flameworked these glass components. These forms will also house LEDs. 10. large doll group.jpg Above are some dolls that I sculpted. I also lampworked the glass eyes, and made the clothes and wigs.

The diorama will display automated figures controlled by servo motors. The figures and the diorama itself will include some cast parts.

My method of distribution for this project is to document the animation, and to use photographs of the diorama as illustrations. My intention is to make a series of these animated dioramas, and use the documents to delineate longer narratives; to illustrate books and compose longer animations that can be distributed.
