Materiality play & prototypes

My materiality research a hands-on, embodied process to reveal the logic within materials. Every material has an inherent potential and story- related to it’s physical structure and how it has been used overtime. To know a material is to interact with a material- to relate through touch, to embed meaning through making. My materiality research informs my studio practice as well as collaborative projects, from play to intentional prototype.
