“Language of Color and Hope” is an art therapy construction kit using generative light sculptures based on the first chapter of the book Language and Connection in Psychotherapy: Words Matter by Mary Davis, M.D. It’s the first time I did a full on woodworking and marquetry project and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!
For more info about the project, including how it works in a therapeutic environment and its use-cases, check out an in-depth overview here: https://ericmedine.com/language-of-color-and-hope/
Build Videos:
This was a project that went through multiple iterations and required a TON of handcrafting and woodworking. You can see some detailed walkthroughs of the build process, part manufacturing, prototyping, and functionality demos on the YouTube channel.
Now that the prototype is done, it’s time to do a production version! This one will be the “travel edition” and will fit in a suitcase. It’s got extra “scrabble” tiles, pens, and power supply. You can check out the build-out videos here!
