This project uses archived 3d models as a basis for creating ‘reconstituted objects of meaning’ via algorithmic unwrapping and craft-derived digital manipulation. We align this process with themes of memory and reclamation, recognizing the impossibility of perfect recall/reproduction, especially within the digital/physical flipflop. Craft Basis Our goal was to create meaningful deformations through flat pattern

Group B – Reconstructed Mementos
Exploring methods for unwrapping and distorting the flat patterns of objects that connect to our shared imaginaries and memories. This project will use photogrammetry and archive data as a basis for creating “reconstituted objects” via algorithmic unwrapping and craft-derived manipulation. We align this process with themes of memory and reclamation, recognizing the impossibility of perfect

Project 1: Tile Design System – Capturing Plaster in Time
We began this project with a set of iterative, experimental material studies to build an understanding of how plaster responds to other materials in the it’s working process. After two iterative cycles we focussed on one specific technique: plaster poured into molten paraffin wax, which highlights the unique nature of the plaster working process. Initial Experiments
