Prototyping vintage style sign using laser cut plywood

RL: Please tell us about yourself?

JH: I am an artist and outsider engineer living in Brighton on the south coast of England. My work is inspired by vintage technology. It aims to celebrate the abandoned, the derelict and the obsolete.

RL: Please tell us about your work?

JH: My interest in vintage technology includes things like signs and lighting displays. This is a quick prototype investigating the best approach to making such things.

I think this type of sign is potentially an interesting platform for exploring different shapes, materials and even interaction with lighting sequences controlled by sensors or incorporating atmospheric sound elements.

I used 3mm plywood as part of this protoype. 

RL: Where can we see your work?

JH: Everything’s here and basically any project that looks like it had some laser cutting done would’ve been done at RazorLAB.
