Papillon is a sculpture that uses the precision of CNC cutting heads to carve intricate designs, patterns, textures, and shapes into ordinary metals.

The aim is to express art through form, texture and the beauty of machinic precision in order to create something that expresses the human but also the machine and how it wa created.

Papillon uses technology as a platform to create a piece that test the boundaries of our own abilities and requires the precision of computerized control to form the physical manifestations of its imagined form.

Papillon has been made in aluminum, copper and bronze; changing the milling path and the milling bit to produce and experiment with different finishing effects as forms of machinic expression.
