For Georges Rousse

For Georges Rousse is a trophy created as a tribute to a French photographer. The trophy is a three-dimensional sculpture based on anamorphosis, an optical effect in which a form looks distorted from most angles. Seen from one specific point, the folded planes align and show a flat circle with colored openings. The form was modeled with a three-dimensional computer program. Plates of cupro-nickel and silver were cut, folded and soldered, then colored by heat to create a contrast between black and white. The trophy measures 115 by 137 by 154 millimeters.

Foxpat

Foxpat is a reusable training simulator for knee replacement surgery. The device is a physical model of a patient knee, fitted with sensors that give feedback on operating performance. Polyurethane bones and a silicone soft tissue cover are held by an aluminium frame, so surgeons can practise with the same tools used in the operating room, without an assistant to hold the knee. A wireless surgical mallet records the impact force and shows the result on an LED scale. Foxpat allows novice surgeons to learn from mistakes without harming a patient.
