I love these buttons. I love the bright color against the more understated silk stripe fabric. This apron was meant to be a modern version of the fancy cocktail aprons that women used to wear for serving guests.
This is a closer view of Lincoln Park, proposed site for the first official Growing Communities Garden in the Sixth Ward neighborhood. The blue arrows indicate major neighborhood access points (and therefore, location of large entryways into the garden) for the proposed garden site.
The building in the upper left is Lincoln School home of PAL (Project for Alternative Learning). PAL students will be an integral part of the community garden workforce, and hopefully will pitch in enthusiastically. The Lincoln Park neighborhood (otherwise known as the Sixth Ward) is a low to middle income neighborhood that we hope will embrace the gardens and benefit from the increased community awareness, educational opportunities and food potential of the gardens.
We're making laser cut cellphone holders. One of the students wanted to raster an image onto his. He had already made a cutting contour in Open Office Drawing. I had him put the picture on the outline for placement, and then switched the colors from black to white, didn't touch the line weight. It was sent with regular settings from the standard Epilog driver in Windows. I figured the laser would ignore the lines of the contour, but would raster the picture. To my surprise, it cut the outline vector first, and then rastered the image.
If I can get this to work consistently, it will open up a lot of possibilities and remove many of the steps.
Always keep a stocked fridge. Just did a workshop yesterday. They must have thought I was a little weird taking photos of their fridge.

This project showcases my innovation - throughout my process I tried a variety of methods of making to push my ideas to new places. In the first phase I made quick forms with legos, applying the lens I had discovered in the painting. Honing this, using Rhinoceros and stacked museum board, I began to form a vocabulary to identify these different definitions of ground by. I developed my "thin ground" via fabric analysis and vacuum forming. I tested my ideas with a concrete form, and after photographing, played with scale through quick sketches. I scoped a catalog of thresholds and bending walls before embarking on my final iteration, folding a long continuous strip of museum board.
