2001 / Tim Noble & Sue Webster Forever Brief: To design a large neon sign and produce it in an edition of three. The dimensions of the sign are 650 x 350 x 8cms. It. was fabricated in parts for ease of shipment. The choice of material for the basic structure was aluminium because of its weight, corrosion resistance, and bonding properties - all beneficial for such a complex shape. The piece was designed using cad software thus enabling CNC processing (computer controlled profile cutting machines). This was also useful in the production of templates for the neon. |
