The EchoFlow Process
CAD Concept Design
Each artwork begins as a detailed digital drawing created using Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) software. The composition is designed as a three-dimensional structure, determining how forms overlap, align, and exist in depth.
CNC Precision
The designs are translated into precise cutting instructions for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, programmed to cut all components from a single sheet of wood.
Cutting tools are specified and operations sequenced, as cut order and tool selection are critical to achieving clean edges, precise fit, and structural integrity.
Assembly & Construction
Once all components are cut, the pieces are assembled by hand. Layers are glued and epoxied, frames are built, and structural fasteners are installed.
Colorway Planning & Refinement
An initial palette is selected based on emotional resonance or inspiration, with a digital rendering created as a visual guide.
Paint is applied, observed, and revisited over time, with colors adjusted, refined, or reimagined as the work evolves.
The color is allowed to develop in response to the piece rather than follow a predetermined outcome.
Hand Finishing
Each wood component is sanded, primed, and hand-painted using acrylic paint, then sealed with a protective varnish.
All components attached and the frame built to create the finished work.
While the underlying structural design may remain consistent, this process allows each artwork to develop its own distinct character, presence and mood.
