Pattern
Exploration
A freshman studio exploration using plant species native to the Adirondacks as source material.
The brief was simple: abstract nature into pattern, then translate pattern into three-dimensional space. What started as 2D studies in Illustrator became physical form, tracing the organic rhythm of local ecology into something tangible.
SKILLS DEVELOPED:
2D to 3D Translation & Spatial Abstraction
Digital Pattern Making (Adobe Illustrator)
Ecological Observation & Nature-Inspired Design
Physical Model Fabrication
DIGITAL ABSTRACTIONS
From the final Illustrator patterns, the most dynamic abstractions were extruded into bold three-dimensional geometries. This process took natural forms and reinterpreted them through a contemporary digital lens.
