drift - undergraduate thesis
Objects have formally defined, instinctually presumed functions that limit how we engage with them. This leaves little room for ambiguity or openness in alterations. This leaves the potential to challenge these preconceptions and create new dialogues around utility and form.
Through this series, I sought to analyze the predefined functions of familiar objects. By altering their forms, I allowed for more open reinterpretations of utility. Hypothetical forms are presented ambiguously, replacing traditional forms and volumes with abstract shapes to challenge logic and provoke new dialogues throughout the collection. These are explored through both materials and processes, generating a playful quality that encourages viewers to consider possibilities for evolving utility and recomposition.
These forms were made using 3d printed gypsum and porcelain, and sterling silver.
