Natural Artificial Seedpods is the outcome of my experiments into the complex relationship between constructed and natural environments. I have played with interpretations of “natural” and “artificial” by translating seed pods and cones from plants native to my area into 3D printed forms. My process embraced human fallibility and the difficulties with translating organic shapes into algorithms for a machine to follow. The resulting forms represent the negative spaces in these seed pods, made solid and scaled up.
