I am a multidisciplinary designer who is attracted to the natural world. I want to emphasize the beauty of our environment and advocate for continuing to preserve our natural infrastructure.

Response:

Squigg is a luminous object inspired by the Solar Punk aesthetic - a green brutalist adjacent design style emphasizing the consideration of natural preservation and artificial infrastructural development.  Squigg is made mainly of Baltic plywood (slight hypocrisy) and reclaimed Burlap coffee sacks from Prototype in Strathcona. This luminous object desires to be placed among foliage, embraced by the undulations of natural overgrowth.

Objective:

Design, Document, and Fabricate a small Luminous Object, while exploring the relationship between Narrative, Form, Materiality, and Value— from concept to fabrication.

EXTRA ORDINARY SHOWCASE

A vintage Argus camera with a black strap mounted on a white display stand in a minimalist, white studio setup.

Objective:

From a lottery selection of random objects, identify, research and then design an engaging presentation that expresses the experience of an object in only white paper. 

Response:

The item showcased in the surrounding photos was an Argus Argoflex 75, a hip fire 620 medium format film camera gifted by a friend of the instructor. The camera was from their grandmother who was gifted the camera from their father, a botanist in Alberta. Their great grandfather wanted their children to view the world differently and believed cameras would help foster this.

The showcase was mainly constructed out of bluejay paper only and was based off the intention of the friend’s grandfather. The whole project brings both literal framing and imitated framing: the proscenium imitating a piece of 620 (medium format/square) film, such that you’re looking into negatives, the interior is intended to suggest a matrix of perspectives cameras create. The frames are intentionally left blank to allow the viewer to interpret the piece their own way.

Objective:

Musical architecture is a first-year interiors and architecture project that focuses on the emotive qualities of space and how they’re conveyed through form and structure. Students were allowed to use only wood products, glue and tape.

Response:

The scale for this project was 1:48 and is based of a song by Dynamic Forces called Directions. This structure focuses on the rising and falling of tension, the interjection of new cohesive elements and then sharp chords created by the lead synthesizer. The front of the structure acts as a seductive hand grasping and leading you into hypnotic dissociative space.
