I make things.
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 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
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
07 December 2019 Submerging electroformed plastic drawing in copper sulphate solution - to crop crystals at strategic points 2. Suspending my electroformed plastic drawing over salt vinegar solution, introducing wood sticks with wound copper sheets between the copper and salt solution for absorption and deposition of crystals near surface of copper drawing.. 3. Hollow Brass… Continue reading Potential Applications: combining materials and forms
04 December 2019 I was glad that I got to speak with Annie about the Salt crystals, since she suggested some exciting ideas I could try with my discovery. Can I somehow remove crystals from the wooden sticks and place them elsewhere?Look at Salt Bride: A bio Engineered wedding dress from crystallization of salt from… Continue reading Experiment: scaling up, narrowing down
08 December 2019 Paintbrush with green dye (Experiment 2) 2. Copper Strip closely wound on wooden stirring stick with white salt and white vinegar (Experiment 4) 3. Used copper strip from electroplating (Experiment 19) 4. Copper sheet + crystallization attempt (Experiment 15)
06 December 2019 I have been slow at looking at potential applications and precedents for my experiments so far, but my current state of mind willed an idea based on the concept of wedding bands as 'cuffs' forcefully bonding two people in an agreement, and the effect of age, wear, time and experience on this… Continue reading Embodied Thought: Idea for a final piece
