As part of her residency at Autodesk’s Pier 9 Workshop in San Francisco, Martin began using design and fabrication resources to prototype new drawing implements. As an artist new to computer aided design (CAD) software and 3D printers, Martin’s research process was driven by a desire to design an extremely simple object that could profoundly impact her drawing output. Connecting features the outcome of this iterative process, including 15 of Martin’s new works on canvas, and 7 new open source works of 3D printed resin plastic.
