My shadowbox generation tool uses p5.js with the p5.js-svg library to generate multi-layered art displays. The goals of this project were to:
Create a program that can generate laser cut- and assembly-ready designs
Easily produce many instances with varying artwork dimensions, material thicknesses, and layer depth
Generate engraved vector fractals to add texture to the backdrop
Accomplish assembly with a minimum of waste and non-recyclable materials
This project is inspired by the art of shadowbox displays and forced-perspective theater design.
As a secondary component, the displayed artwork is printed and precisely laser cut to shape, which provides its own case-by-case alignment and assembly challenge. Also see my solution for packaging the finished product!
You can access the source code and use the tool yourself on the p5.js web editor!
