File under: Art
After I made the laser cut jolly roger pieces I ended up carrying them around town and giving them away to people at random or leaving them in places, like on a park bench or a bar or in some nook in the wall. I decided that was fun so this week while I was at Techshop I made a new piece to carry around with me. It's based on an Aztec artists' stone carving of an Ouroborus, a snake eating its own tail. Usually meant to symbolize infinity or cyclic nature, it is a symbol that has emerged in many different cultures, from the Greeks, to various African regions and of course the Aztecs. I chose to use an Aztec version because the copyright is expired and I've been reading a great book recently that covered some Aztec history and culture. I've posted the Corel Draw file I used with the laser cutter.
