Jamie Espinosa-Briones:Push-Pull

For the first push-pull object I improvised darts of various different sizes to see what shapes I can make out of them. I arranged the modules into different arrangements until I found one that looks like a familiar object, in this case it was a purse.
For this object, I wanted to create lips since the material felt very kitschy to me. I wanted to lean into a cartoonish and oversized element that would have an element of charm to it. For this object, I created a pattern using paper and darting to learn how to effectively apply darting in multiple different ways. It helped me get really acclimated to the technique.
Finally, for the final object, I first created a bunch of tubes made of a specific felt fabric that I found pretty. I wanted to use these to create ties that could manipulate the form. In this case the form was a long tube which I stuffed slightly with polyfill and began tying and sewing knots shut.
