  • Pilotis Vase – First Article

    This was the first piece I received back from the ceramicist Peter Fink of Potsfink.
    Peter helped to create the molds from the positive wooden forms I made and he slip cast all of the Pilotis Vases for our project with Apparament 50.

    In 2014 ECAL’s Master of Product Design class teamed up with Scott to develop a commuter bicycle.

    Here are a few process photos for our group’s development.
    Our team was comprised of Thomas Burns, Kasia Kempa, and Lucas Frank.

  • Together / Apart

    In 2014, as a one day workshop led by Bethan Wood and Tomas Alonso, Roosa Ryhänen and I made this bench.  Our brief was to create a seating for two which would encourage some type of interaction.

  • Nathalie Du Pasquier Lecture

     

    Following our workshop, on Nov 27th, 2013 Nathalie Du Pasquier gave a lecture at ECAL.  She spoke about her pattern development, her time as part of the Memphis Group, and also about her paintings.  She said she only paints up to a certain size, because that’s the biggest that will fit in her car.  Very practical, very relate-able.
