Hand to Hand explores the value of handcrafted work in design and how it can be brought to life through motion. I’m drawn to the unique qualities of analog methods such as their intentionality, authenticity, and the meaningful connection they foster between the designer, the work, and the audience. My methodology begins by experimenting with materiality, exploring how physical elements can conceptually resonate with the subject and enhance audience engagement. engagement. From there, I consider how these static art forms can be digitally transformed into time-based narratives, offering a more dynamic and interactive experience for the viewer. By blending analog with digital through motion, I aim to create new possibilities in design.
This publication documents my journey exploring these topics, culminating in a final thesis project that synthesizes everything I’ve learned. It includes my research, influences, experiments, and interviews with artists Anna Eijsbouts, James Coffman, Huw Messie, and Edd Carr. Hand-assembled. 5x8in.
