Not unlike an arachnid spinning a silken web, artist Rachel Goldsmith weaves plastic extruded from a 3D Doodler pen into intricate sculptures. With little in the way of a plan, Goldsmith tends to improvise her work by connecting strand after strand of plastic and following her intuition.In her latest work, that intuition produced a system of black, white, and grey plastic threads that looks like something the giant spiders from Harry Potter might leave behind after a short vacation. The weblike structure is the end product of 30 total hours of doodling and about 200 strands of plastic. The artwork is a "visual record of the repetitive," she told 3Dprint.com, budding from a flowing meditative state "kind of like the contrails left behind an airplane." We like to think that's what spiders think of their webs, too.
