What’s in a knot?
Oh me oh my….I’m still knotting things! So, ok its not the worst thing to be doing (and clearly I am really enjoying the process). This time I wanted to explore the space that effects knotting. Dave and I had some conversations about this when knotting molecules, and I thought I should make some experiments…

What are the patches?
I’ve made a set of patches that can be easily attached to the body, and used as props for learning. In this set I have not included a controller for programming, but that would be the next step. They are not complete in themselves -they are part of a larger set of props that work…

Using props
“Propping-up” learning with the patches. I ran another workshop to test another (more developed) iteration of the patches, and used them as props. I also used the deconstructed phone map, and we mapped our interests to make the making relevant. These three elements are given “shape” through the learners’ engagement.

Sewing patches
Some sewing and making.

Shaping amorphous things
I am making patches and although I want them to be “amorphous” they of course will have a shape because they are things, objects, material. So I am exploring ways of shaping that feels without shape. Squishy in their squishiness. Shaping. Elad Lassry, Pillow (2010)

Making patches
I’ve tested some patches for making and designing electronics on the body. My concept of “squishy” now focuses on the amorphous. (I have narrowed the concept down to one thread -otherwise there is just too much to explore!). The amorphous of “squishyness” is without a clearly defined shape. And in this case I would like…
