Sweatshop
My work focuses on the making process: tools, rigs and workshops that are socially minded and encourage engagement, understanding and participation. I am interested in how design navigates between utility and concept. A designer can be both the means of production (the making) and the model for production (the design), and therefore is well positioned to devise new concepts that challenge convention and offer alternatives to accepted models of production.
