Why am I a maker? (draft)
I’m a maker simply because of my need to give embodiment to what my mind envelopes out of the connection between my thoughts and my environment.
I’m a maker the moment these networks become the voices of the people that surround my work, trying to understand it, grasping at its meaning.
I’m a maker when at the same time I can express that meaning of action, and my work becomes the tool for more to come.
Stitching
First I wanted to check out weaving. When googling stitching I came onto a youtube tutorial of cardboard weaving, and decided to do that first as an introduction. It was fun, but not that challenging, so I went to the Fabric Station and got a hold of the weaving machine. There I received a document with weaving techniques and studied these, trying all of those techniques in a scarf. Also I decided to experiment with materials, and added the blue thread of a fishing net. It was a very hard, uneasy-to-mingle thread - so I really had to pull tight to get the wires attached.
