Bleach Festival
Designed by BVN principal, Kevin O’Brien.
Fabricated in partnership with UAP | Urban Art Projects
Idea
Blending the form of the native Banksia flower and a desire to play with light diffusion, BVN’s Kevin O’Brien sort a material that was semi-translucent and capable of being sculpted.
The project goals also included interaction with advanced manufacturing technologies.
Solution
Robotically controlled extrusion printing was chosen to ensure the output geometry remained true to the intended form.
The material selected was semi-clear PETG to facilitate light diffusion whilst retaining a sense of lightness.
