Explorations

Co-creation workshop

The workshop was an intervention that brought us as designers and local people as artisans together to create products that would help them sustain themselves in todays markets. The products were tar-getted at the upper urban classes.

Contain/Conceal

The studio allowed me to examine a material through the perspective of contain/conceal. I chose to work with plastic and to relate it to a social cause of saving the olive ridley turtles.

A collar piece i made by weaving strips of plastic. The idea was to create something that would look interesting from plastic as it is otherwise an environmental nuisance. I also tried to make the form like it was concealing the neck area to relate it to how turtles die of eating plastic.
