Inspired by the visualization of a sound wave on an oscilloscope. The amplitude of the wave doubles with each pulse. With each shift in scale the form affords different uses. At the smallest scale it functions as a business card holder and pen holder, at medium scale a desk organizer, at large scale a mail sorter or a place to store books and magazines.

Cody Norman is a Chicago-based artist, designer, and educator. He currently serves as part-time faculty in the Sculpture and Designed Objects departments at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He graduated with a BFA from SAIC in 2016 and earned an MFA in 3D Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2020. Norman uses an industrial robot and custom tools to transform recycled and bio plastics into functional art objects. Through a local network of households and small businesses, he collects post-consumer plastic to create work inspired by nature and sustainability. Norman’s process physically blurs the line between digital and hand craft creating works that resemble nature but have a chaotic and unpredictable materiality, challenging viewers to consider how the work is made
