One of the experiments I've been conducting for my thesis is infinity boxes. Inspired by Yayoi Kusama's infinity rooms and archizoom's no-stop-city, I'm using my miniature 55 gallon drum festooned landscape to explore illusionary space. #appliedcraftanddesign #halliefordschoolofgraduatestudies #pnca #portlandart #portlandartist #miniature #infinityroom #55gallon

Hey, so if you find yourself looking for something to do Thursday night come to the opening of AC+D midyear show. It's at the PNCA Glass studios: 2139 N Kerby Ave, Portland, OR 97227 from 6-9. I've made my largest piece yet, an 8' X 11' wall panel of hyperindustrial vertical landscape. #appliedcraftanddesign #pnca #portlandevents #artshow #portlandart #portlandoregon #assemblage #digitalfabrication #modelmaking #foundobjects #sculpture @appliedcraftanddesign @pnca_sculpture @pnca_hallieford @intsculpturectr

This last week my work went to a sparkly place. A place where shinny pink dust makes everything better. A place where even your shit can be diamonds. A place where it's perpetually Easter 1987 at Bayside high School. You can leave your rose colored lenses at home, as long as you bring enough magic sparkle fairy dust. #glitter #polution #rosecoloredglasses #color #hypergendered #modelmaking #glam #hyperindustry #lasercutting #modulardesign #pnca #halliefordschoolofgraduatestudies #appliedcraftanddesign

There is a rumbling coming from the studio. #studiopractice #studiolife #pnca #appliedcraftanddesign #cardboardart #cardboard #systems #modularity #pdxartist #crust #rust

Did a bit of cutting today on my 50's Shopsmith 10-ER. This machine is a table saw, drill press, lathe, disk and spindle sander, horizontal boring machine and just about anything else you can imagine. Notice the exposed blade on the underside of the table. The pinnacle of post-war engineering, with its safety third design this machine gives the finger to the Nanny State. hopefully not your finger. All in all a highly functional machine that will bring a little pucker factor to your day and make you dream fondly of sawstop technology. #shopsmith #studiopractice #studiolife #saftythird #sawstop #tablesaw #oldtools

I'm going to spend father's day reflecting on just how incredibly fortunate I am to have such wonderful, kind, and curious little girl. Yesterday Ruby Rocket was thrilled to spend the whole day helping her papa restore this old Japanese Pachinko machine. She is such a good shop helper and repairing something like this was a fun educational opportunity for her and I. My only complaint was that she tends to be a little heavy handed with the Simple Green and WD-40🤣 #blessed #fathersday #daddydaughtertime #girlswithtools #pachinkomachine #restorationproject

My daughter's favorite dinosaur is a futabasaurus. Yes it's a real dinosaur, I looked it up. She was also correct when she informed me that it was a kind of pleaseeasaur. Next step was to ask Dad to make her one on the 3D printer. So I sculpted this in VR using Oculus Medium and printed it out in PLA plastic for her to paint. I'll have to post the 18 minute "how to paint your futabasaurus" instructional video that Ruby and I recorded, perhaps after some editing.😂 #futabasaurus #3dprinting #vrsculpting #oculusrift #oculusmedium #toymaker #studiopractice #familytime #daddydaughtertime #dinosaur #dinosaurtoys

I think that I'm ridiculously attached to this little thing! I sculpted it in VR using Oculus Medium then 3D printed it. Ruby is also quite fond of it and insisted on making sure it was well pampered. #virtualsculpting #virtualreality #vr #oculusrift #3dprinting #pnca #ocac #appliedcraftanddesign #halliefordschoolofgraduatestudies #tinyhorse #toyhorse #robothorse #feedthehorse
