Technical Information
Modern Constellation team conducted a 3D scan of the model for exact dimensions.
The Skirt
The team modeled the shape onto our model’s 3D scan and digitally modified the pattern pieces to make sure the fit was correct and conducted test runs in cardboard.
They tried different cutting patterns with the laser expert in order to find one that could help the wood curve enough to give the skirt shape, but remained sturdy.
Once the skirt shape and pattern was finalized and assembled, Jesse Gouchey, a local graffiti artist, spray paint his rendition of the universe.
Once painted, the team added about 150 RGBs, all color coordinated to create our illusion of moving stars under the galaxy.
The Bodice
The Bodice was drafted manually.
The team used different sizes of 3D printed pyramids which were sewn onto the bodice and each was enhanced with a coordinating color RGB.

“To me, it was important that this piece kept its focus on the aesthetically pleasing side of design and remained edgy, yet wearable and easily transferable to a regular garment. I wanted to incorporate as many available aspects of the technology, yet respecting the artistry and craftsmanship that cannot be replaced by tech.
