Manifesto

As we are all designers, we all have contrasting views and perceptions of what makes a good or bad design. One element which links us all together are the stages of the design process through which exploring possibilities and constraints focuses our critical thinking and research towards a common objective.

Through this project we are forming an interactive design that will engage art, nature, people and place on a day-to-day basis. Our project will illustrate how different forms of a membrane structure, grid shells, origami and biology are composed together in a symbiotic relationship to form a sustainable concept.

Our plan / convention will address the physical and spatial parameters of our design with a thorough understanding of its role in our environment and its potential to function as a living space. The site we have chosen to implement our design is the spiritual center, which has a strong focus on nature and raw materials. Our plan / convention will draw elements from these and inform how our concept will develop.

Crochet: Why Use this Traditional Craft to Make Art?

Here is an excerpt from a book titled "The Crocheter’s Art: New Dimensions in Free-form Crochet" by Del Pitt Feldman which I think answers this question well. I also hope that it may explain to you why I am interested in crochet as an artist and see such potential for it in relation to public art.
