Closer Approximations: MFA Thesis - Metal

Abstract

My work is situated in a framework of practice and play—the result of an iterative process. Formal conclusions emerge as responses to self-imposed systems of making. I fabricate jewelry tangent to simple drawing programs developed in software. By hand, I interpret the systems that determine form in order to conceive new studio methods and wearable outcomes. I explore the conditions of making within craft, generative design, and the serial aspects of digital technologies.
