Fusing

We had a group meeting to discuss our given subject: Fusing. We got very deep into the subject, to the point of where the entire universe is fusing if you think about it long enough. We focused on fusing within craft. To do this we had to define craft itself. We talked about craft for 4 hours and decided that we all had other thoughts about craft. The thing we did agree on is that craft is in the proces and also in skill and handeling a material. We all had different opinions about what fusing can be for us. It was interesting to have discussions about our different meanings and look at fusing from another perspective. We made a big wordweb to clarify fusing and to help us present our opinions and thoughts about fusing in class.

In my opinion you can define fusing as: adding things to things.

1. Historical example

First i wanted to do something with melting because melting materials is an very historical proces. I looked in my room for something that i could melt togheter and i found the colourfull things you can see on the picture. I tried to melt them in a pan with boiled water. I discovered that the material wasn't plastic but aluminum, so it didn't melt down on the temperature of the boiled water. In the end it stuck together but I wasn't happy with the end result. I decided to take another starting point and use chalk for my historical example.

I asked the people around me what they think about when they think about craft. A lot of them told me that they thought about gluing, cutting and painting. I thought it could be interesting to take this misunderstood bias as an new starting point for my experiments. I chalked on a lot of colorful papers and cut them all in different pieces. When I was done cutting I clued them together again in many different shapes and compositions. I'm quite happy with the end result because it turned out to be a research about colors and shapes. I would like to use the colors, shapes and patterns I discovered with painting with chalk, cutting and gluing as an starting point and inspiration for the rest of the assignments in quarter 7.

2. A comparative example

3. An example of a new skill

Within our fusing group we had a lot of discussions about what fusing is and what it can be. In my opinion fusing can also be things with textiles because you have to fuse treats together to create a textile. I am very interested in textiles, so I thought what can I make with this. Because textiles are created out of treats I started thinking about embroidery's witch I really like. So I bought an hoop and began trying.

After my first 3 tryouts I discovered that i was using the treat wrong. I was using the whole treat, but you have to split the treat. If you do this the embroidery will be less thick. I splited the treat for the next two examples I made. I discovered that I could make the image more precisely with the thinner treat. I even managed to make shadow's and different colour shades inside the image.

Because I really liked what I was doing and the techniek I was using I decided to take another step. Instead of making an clear image I wanted to make an more abstract image. I used the collage's from the historical example as an inspiration. I zoomed in on one of the collages and picked out an interesting piece. After I finished this piece I also made a pin inspired by the collage's.

4. An example of a material pushed to the limit

5. A shared example

For the shared example we are trying to mike tiles.
