chad eby Dust Objects These ongoing small works are form explorations using subdivision surface modeling and various 3D printing and other digital fabrication techniques. Sub-D surfaces attempt to conserve surface area in relation to volume in much the same way that diatoms and other small creatures do, yielding complex highly organic forms from fairly simple…

chad eby Cylinder #5 These form studies embody tensions between seed geometry within a regular grid and the influence of the “natural force” of subdivision surface smoothing. In this case, random selection marks some faces of the tubular seed primitive for extrusion and invagination—a process that blows the form open and creates a double-walled vessel.…
