Planing an printing a version of it with a non ultimaker printer and at a 25% scale and refine the shape of it.

WHat if we could use other commands with your pinkie finger. It shouldn’t be  the left out finger in a mouse.

While looking to the future it’s important to think about sustainability. Where plastic we create will never go away it will be our last traces to archaeological sites to the future and its abundance. What I how for the future of 3d printing is how it spreads to more organic materials and branches into printing food organs and prints 3D sure but not you the wood you think in single layers. That’s my thoughts but thoughts are wood working with printers. 

In my first year of stamps, there is still a big transition to studying Art and Design at a University level. Compared to a self taught/highschool education that focuses only on the aesthetic of the final product. With this quilt it was a lot of work and trouble shooting more than I’ll admit, but I am happy with how it turned out.

Finished cutting out the strips of fabric for the quilt took me over 8 hours to do. I underestimated this project

I remember at the beginning when researching for a umich person I and my partner considered the apollo 15 for the project. Although we didn’t go with it, it piked my interest when I first learned they you guys were doing the Apollo 15. I was curious about what direction your sequence was going to go. Now that I’ve seen your final project I’ve been impressed and dazzled by your video. How you change from a realistic black and white to a fanasty sci-fi setting is splendid. It really showed a side of the project you enjoyed doing and creating. By the way, your guy’s make-up is amazing.

In the beginning, we had no idea what the end product would be nor what the iterations the project would go through. Based on the initial instruction from our professor, of researching people relating to the university. We started with a list of alums we thought, in particular, would be engaging and have themes we could possibly explore in the sequence assignment. The reason we went with Isabella Abbottt (expanded from above) is making a cake after Emily found this article “Isabella Abbott, World-renowned Stanford Algae Expert Dies at 91” which mentions Abbott’s personal hobby and how it related to her professional life and traditional culture. Both of us agreed to make a cake for the project early on but yet didn’t know how to present it and what message we wanted to convey for the Sequence. In the end, I didn’t get to eat the cake.

Overall we weren’t really expecting to end up with the topic that we did. First starting with Isabella Abbott, we thought we were going to focus on her Hawaiian heritage and her connection to her mother through baking and traditional Hawaiian culture. These ideas later transformed into comparing Abbott’s dual life as the first native Hawaiian woman to get a PhD in the sciences and as someone who practices traditional female and cultural roles by baking. The main themes in our project for a long time were simply comparing beauty and the grotesque,  Not until much later in the project did we turn the focus to ourselves and how her work in an unconventional field as a woman translated to our lives. Both baking and her study of algae are very physical and demanding operations, putting our focus on hands and their connection to us. As makers our hands are incredibly important, and as women there are certain expectations and limitations associated with our hands. We started to explore the connections between appearance, expectations, creation, free thought, and how our hands/actions convey these themes. We would have liked to continue exploring this project, possibly bringing in additional media, because by the time our “final” topic or theme arose from our research, we had much more limited time to create a project.
