can weak connections form a strong structure? what are the origins and limits of regularity? can fewer options result in more freedom? this bowl is designed as a smooth surface simple bowl shape. the texture and woven like structure are the result of pushing 3D printer settings to extreme limits of looseness, weakness, porousness, and slowness. for example, the scalloped texture of the bowl wall is not present in the original 3D digital model. instead, the texture emerges from tiny, almost undetectable vibrations from the movement of the 3D printer as it slowly extrudes a single continuous strand of molten plastic in a repetitive circle. allowing each layer of plastic to lightly drape over each previous layer from a precise distance opens just enough of an opportunity for the printer's vibrations to effect the plastic just before it cools. the effect of the vibrations is imperceptible at first, but is amplified through each successive layer, eventually forming the porous, scalloped bowl wall. the scalloping is unique to each bowl and varies greatly depending on the color of plastic as well as other factors including viscosity, heat absorption, moisture retention, room temperature, and even local weather conditions.
