Pace, Speed, Slowness (investigation through making)
Considering pace in making is crucial for material and practical reasons, to make environmentally and socially conscious decisions. The implied opposition between slow and fast, means we also consider privilege here. My series of rugs were, using traditional beading techniques, designed to be rethreaded to fit various spaces, to be dismantle-able and compostable. I also developed a framework - Stop Think Explore Enjoy Rethink - to ensure thinking about material life-cycles when making.
