Develop a personal tool that transforms your craft in a meaningful way. 
This tool needs to be relevant to your personal practice and the bigger context of your craft.

RESEARCH QUESTION

Research question01.jpg

MY CRAFT

The essence of my craft is to investigate the characteristics of materials and to make use of transforming, moving characteristics of a material.
I'm moved and astonished by materials that can't be controlled, that live their own live. That's why I'm interested in Bio Design.
Examples of experiments with moving and natural materials.

HAIRY TOOLS OF THE TRADE CONCEPT

Human as resource.
Seeing ourselves as a resource for materials and production, by using 'trash' from ourselves and our life style as a source for materials to create products from.

Diversity: how can a tool be adapted to the personal characteristics of the human?
Bio: can a tool be adapted to the biological process of the human body, such as the growth cycle of hair?
Waste: Which materials can be used for a valuable product? And where are the limits of what people want to do for their products?

HAIRY INDIA

Exploring the role of hair in the Indian culture.

HAIRY SPINNING EXPERIMENTS

Using my 'body trash' as a resource. Everyday I find a lot of hair in my comb, waiting for the trash can.
What if I developed a tool that will transform this into a usable material?

After a tryout to spin a tread from my own hair, I went by the hairdresser to ask for a bag of hair to make more tests.
I discovered that most of the hair was too soft to be spun in a strong thread. So I edited it with grease.

TOOL EXPERIMENT #1 WEAVE COMB

After several experiments with techniques to transform hair in a usable and more valuable material, now focusing on the tool.
A comb and weaving loom in one. Making it possible to harvest your hair and weave it at the same time.

TOOL EXPERIMENT #2 HARVEST COMB

Using the comb as harvest tool, as I collect hair from my own comb and my friends' combs.
In this case, the comb is the source of hair that is removed from the head because of a biological process.

The cycle of hair growth and designs of combs referring to the possibility to ´harvest´ per phase:

TOOL EXPERIMENT #3 HAIRY HARVESTING TOOL KIT

After a talk with Michelle, at the research class of Jon, I was inspired to focus more on the target group of my tool
Who is going to harvest their own hair? And how?

The imaginary target group of my tool is a group of people who do everything to optimize their hair quality, to harvest it.
They are focused on a specific quality of their hair (length, strength, color) and use a tool kit to reach this goal.

TOOL EXPERIMENT #4 DAILY HAIRY HARVESTING

I wanted to improve the look of the harvest tool kit, by making it less 'practical' looking.
The package of anti conception pills inspired me; it has the look of a daily routine.

By putting the harvest combs in a similar package, it also involves my research to the different customs on different days in the Hindu religion.

In this short video I'm exploring the daily routine of a person who is harvesting a human material: hair (klick klick klick):
