Systems of Collecting
Final Exhibition
Process Work
The first collections I have brought to class, keychains, bottle caps and tickets. After hearing Nathan’s comments, I decided to develop the bottle cap collection to a caps collection; so, I started to collect jar caps, perfume caps, water bottle caps.. etc.
Here is the caps collection that I have collected; however, I was still not pleased with the outcome. So, I looked for a different collection.
I decided to change my Caps collection to a Cup Sleeve collection, where i thought it would be more interesting; so, I’ve been coffee shop hunting to find sleeves in all different kinds, prints and color. Here is what I came up for, in total of 20 sleeves.
Re/Surface
Final Outcome
Process Work
At first, I decided to resurface my book cover with buttons; however, after getting my professor's comment, I changed my mind.
I decided to use press studs from different sizes to re surface my next object. The object I chose to resurface with the press studs is my shoe. Here is the process of press stud hunting.
I began by placing the lager studs in the large spaced areas and then for the Nike swoosh logo, I placed the smaller studs.
For the sole of the shoe, I chose a different color to identify the sole.
KINETICS OF THE AUDIBLE OBJECT
Final Outcome
Process Work
My first sketch of the design of the object, inspired by a guitar and oud. After getting comments from my professor, I moved on to a different sketch of the object.
The final sketch for the object. Materials to use are also stated.
So at first, I started measuring for the dado cut. After noticing a minor mistake of my Dado cut, I decided to file and scratch off the extra layer of wood that made my walls uneven. The result can be seen on the right picture.

In the first picture, I worked on the board and the height I wanted my wheel to be at and managed to drill a hole in that place. Second picture, I worked on the wheel itself and it turned out to be almost perfect. I faced a couple of challenges with the loose fit, because it turned the wheel to be unstable and wobbly. To fix that problem, I placed a stopper (small wooden square piece) to stable the wheel while it’s turning.
Details of my wheel. I will attach the 4 guitar pecks (I will use cut out CD pieces instead) in the vertical cut out lines.

Used the Jig Saw machine to drill a hole to attach the strings across (which I will be using as horse hairs) and glued the sides to stick together and used a clamp to hold it.
