Sliceforms comprise several interlocking sheets intersecting at right angles to create forms that suggest three dimensionality. Original sliceform designs were generated using 3D software, which were then used as templates for paper models. The process of rapid prototyping was also explored in the creation of solid sliceform sculptures.

The pieces were inspired by the book, "Sliceforms" by author and mathematician John Sharp.
