23 February 2020 During our layout meeting yesterday, we realized that all of us had followed a number of different layouts and we decided to freeze a couple of templates that we would all try to fit our work into. I changed some of my layouts to fit these, and quite like the white space… Continue reading Revised Layout
18 February 2020 In our copy shop group meeting we all liked the layout of the images vs. text in this book on Olafur Eliasson's words, that I had issues for my ADAS essay. We thought it was a nice composition, playing on the white space to direct attention to the images. Also, some images… Continue reading Layout
20 February 2020 During our editorial meeting, Francesca and I discussed the possibility of collaborating on the further development of our respective realize projects. Francesca had proposed a branching light fixture in her community food library, suspended above a branching meal table. I wondered if I could plate and crystallize one of the branching structures,… Continue reading Realize Further Development
20 February 2020 Based on an example spread in Clare's presentation, I wanted to create a layout with all our objects 'speaking to one another' in one space/plane, for a potential contents page. Since we did not manage to experiment with our materials together in the studio, I tried to select images from all our… Continue reading Contents page trial
13 February 2020 During our editorial introduction workshop, the our group discussed possible overarching themes that we could look at, as a common thread for our publication. Initial options were regarding highlighting the process over outcome, incorporation of organic themes and sustainable approaches. Since these were not applicable to all, we wanted to broaden the… Continue reading Editorial Theme and development
15 January 2020 Following the success of the acrylic butterfly, where i coated an electroformed laser cut butterfly object with sawdust, to allow absorptive crystallization and colours from copper corrosion, I decided to flip the materials inside out - using absorbents as base for electroforming and patination, to allow for patination on electroformed surfaces.. I… Continue reading Week 2 – Testing absorbents

19 December 2019 Thanks everyone who wrote feedback for my elevator pitch! SUBJECT AREAS: Context / historical / political / geographic / site 1. Growth? Constraint? Change? Use? The first comment seems to question my intention to apply narratives of growth and transience into my final work, as mentioned in my elevator pitch. I enjoyed… Continue reading Elevator Pitch Feedback
