An Experiment In Process

This work began as an open exploration, a focus on making rather than arriving at a final result.

By letting go of the idea of an endpoint, we allowed ourselves to move more freely, to explore without knowing where things might lead. Along the way, we noticed how often our usual way of designing is guided by the end, how we tend to picture the outcome before we even begin.

An idea often arrives hand in hand with its conclusion, the end imagined before the beginning has even taken shape. This time, we chose to do the opposite.

What happens when we pause that projection and let the process become the work, not a means to an end? When the act of making itself becomes the destination.

Working with tools and materials unfamiliar to us, we set out to challenge our habits of making. These are fragments, snapshots from a nonlinear process, moments of exploration documented along the way. Rocks collected, cast in plastic, reborn in plaster. Each material found, reformed, reimagined.
