Mirror Images: A Senior 3D Layered Art Project by Nick Schein (2021)

My inspiration for this project was my own film camera. I love film photography (both monochrome and color), and developing that film. As I've mentioned before, I have a general love of older, more mechanical objects—and film cameras perfectly fit the bill. I chose to make my wood art version of my camera a 2:1 size—but I forgot about the three dimensional aspect of that. So while the width and height of the wooden model is twice that of the actual camera, the depth is off by a factor of 4—so the ratio of width (or height) to depth is a staggeringly inaccurate 8:1! Nevertheless, I had great fun with this project—especially the building aspect, in which I filmed a time-lapse of the approximately 2 hour process of gluing some layers, letting them dry, and gluing more layers (and so on and so forth).
