The Wire-Mesh 3D Art Technique:

​

My technique consists in superposing several layers of rhomboidal aluminum expanded wire-mesh which I cut by hand and place on a white background.

​

Expanded wire-mesh is a translucent material. One of its specifications is called "% of open area surface" defining the ratio between the open surface and the surface occupied by the mesh wires, in other words how much light does it let through.

​

Cutting more or less each of the different layers of mesh provides me with a pallete of different tones of grey, which I use to form the images.

​

Nowhere is there any drawing or picture, the images are formed solely by the different layers of cut wire-mesh superposed on a white background.
