Correlate Trivet
Made from a single, solid board of hardwood, Correlate is a trivet intricately cut on both sides. Offset lines and concentric arcs, gradually increasing in size with each move outward, create a motif for the piece. The same series is flipped and relocated to an opposing plane, bringing out the illusion of a moiré effect. As the visual elements overlap and coincide, the negative space through and between them reveals a hidden pattern within a set of patterns.

Instructions
View the PDF for full instructions and a detailed list of materials & tools. This project involves repititive cuts to create a pattern on two sides of a thin, solid wood board.
