PROJECT STATEMENT

On approach, the artifact projects the assembly of solid mass and volumes through the rendering of interlocked silhouettes and suggests the description of the generation of the artifact. Transparencies/ Translucencies/ Surface Permeability qualities begin to express surface relationships (unfolding elevation/ material diagram) and reveal the agency in the elements that make up the material system

00. BURLAP.PAPER FABRIC (surfaces of fabric + paper)// fields that define legible scales of “figures” through the negotiation of edges and figural morphologies

01. SEAMS.STITCHING.HARDWARE/ACCESSORIES(connection details)// resulting from the morphology of the deployed fields and surfaces - the connection and termination of edges define continuity from surface to surface (OR ANTI-CONTINUITY OR DIS-CONTINUITY)

02. SURFACE GROWTH.MANIPULATION.de-FORMATION.STITCHING (tufting/bamboo/weaving)//the augmentation of surfaces and material define directionality, qualities of transparency, and softness or hardness
