My submission to
the Public Art Project. based on the

 |
After designing the template for the cube in Freehand I began the process of cutting the wood and assembling the panels. |
|
Six panels need
to be made to complete the cube. |
 |
 |
I used the computer to design a slide that could be perfectly projected to transfer the grid in pencil. The method assured that the squares look flat if viewed from the same perspective. After seeing the projection I think I'm going to continue the grid onto the base. |
|
After positioning the cube on Doe's head, sans bottom, I used a compass to measure the distance between the side of the cube and the figure, and carefully cut the panel with a jigsaw.
|
 |
 |
Only after getting the bottom panel cut and placed could I drill the holes for the two large 27" bolts that would ultimately secure the cube to the Doe. |
|
Epoxy paste was used to cover the bollts and to fill the small gaps between the bottom panel and the Doe. Primer was added after shaping and sanding.
|
 |
 |
With the bottom in place I can freely slip the rest of the cube on and off Doe's head for easy painting. |
|
I chose to paint the
sqaures first. Once all of the colors are applied, I will, as the Rolling Stones suggested, paint it black. |
 |
 |
The process of painting is taking me longer than I had planned. I have to put on 2-3 layers of paint with some colors. I finally started painting the base. |
|
Almost...done...got...
to...finish...black... |

 |
FINISHED!!! The two dimensional view looks pretty spiffy, don't you think?
