The Arbor Ring combines wire wrapping, digital fabrication, and casting. Starting with a 3D-printed original, the ring is cast in bronze, providing a framework for wire wrapping. This marries modern digital processes that use many expensive tools with the approachable and accessible wire wrapping process which can be done at home with only a few common tools. The piece reflects the interplay between manual creation and mass production, highlighting the coexistence of handicraft with contemporary technologies. It prompts contemplation on the integration of old and new, individuality within mass production.
