Exploring the Art of Hand-Crafted Creations
On occasion, I enjoy immersing myself in hand-crafted art and workshops centered around manual crafts. There's a certain allure to crafting something from the ground up and witnessing its completion that brings about immense satisfaction.
Motivation Book: RIT Edition
For my Letterpress Printmaking class's final project, I chose to craft mini-motivational quote books to gift to my fellow graduating friends. Every detail, from the textured backgrounds to the chosen typeface, was made with ink. Some pages include RIT inside jokes that I thought was funny and memorable.
Walkable City: 3D Paper Model
This 3D project challenged us to use paper materials exclusively to construct a walkable city model. On the left, you can see the blueprint and measurements I prepared. Crafting this 3D model was an enjoyable experience as I transformed my blueprint into a tangible creation. This piece was also showcased in the RIT City Art Space Exhibition 2019: Best Foot Forward, curated by Cecily Culver.
Rubix Cube Reimaged
In this project, I had the chance to experiment with plaster and molding techniques. The image on the left showcases the initial template I formed using plaster. Afterwards, I crafted a silicone mold and replicated the cube 27 times to construct a 3x3 cube. By meticulously assembling specific pieces, I transformed it into a puzzle game.
