KAB130 Week 6 Task 1 final work Studio The Art of Materials
Final work: using the canvas wedges/keys and Lace in the effort to Transform/downcycle these 'useful' materials and combine them in such a way that their original purpose is impossible while maintaining the 'elements' of these materials. We want emphasis on lace as a fabric used in covering things for decoration and canvas wedges that hold structure. While highlighting these 'elements' of the objects used, it is showed in a way that can't be used for It's original purpose.
