Thinly veiled: commissioned for the entrance to ACT II, Grand Opera House, Belfast

Thinly Veiled is one of several of commissions by Westerman based on research into the interface between art and design, where computer animation programs are translated into a physical output using industrial design processes, including rapid prototyping, CNC routing and laser-cutting.
