Project Description:
Wrapping up the semester with the last project being Research and Publish gave me a chance to look back at the work I’ve done so far over the semester. As Nick Rock, one of my professors for the next semester, pointed out during my final critique: none of my projects connect aesthetically, and he was quite appreciative about that fact. But the one thing I see common in all of them is experimentation with materiality. From the AI && You publication all the way to Research and Publish, I wanted to make have my work invite interaction and I feel I was able to achieve that quite well with this project too.
My final publication for the semester comes together as a set of 6 scrolls enclosed in a wooden box which I engraved with a laser cutter. The inspiration for the scrolls comes from South Asia, as it was one of the regions that kept up the use of scrolls for documentation for the longest time in history. I also designed and engraved a pattern on the box that is printed on the scrolls as well, making the entire project feel cohesive.
