The technique’s perfect for projects involving various sized parts—this one contained four different shapes. Also, the required amount—some 10,000 pieces—were also conducive to the technique. “To cut it by hand would be time prohibitive,” says Iwamoto, “and to create a dye would be too expensive. This was the perfect sized batch for digital fabrication.” Photo 12 of 12 in Cut it Out: The Work of Lisa Iwamoto by Joanne Furio
