SELECTION OF MY WORK FROM LONDON DESIGN MUSEUM
in the framework of Alan Fletcher – 50 Years of Work (and Play) exhibition

By mapping my processes in a 3 dimensional form, I aim to re-assess, test and construct new methods for my practice.
This tree is a metaphor for the tacit process of thinking with the hands while making something.
Its roots represent the design thinking process (referring to Ian Noble's diagram) while its upper part represents the design outcome. Wire-made words (communicate, research, inspire,visualize) are weaved within the roots representing the process of design research while others (design, create, art) are hanging from the branches to highlight the fruits of the design process.
Born by metal and fire but also flexible enough, its material values represent the strength and flexibility of the design, while the tools attached to it are reminders of the importance of making as a way of thinking with the hands.
Nobody would affirm that the tree grows its crown in the image of its roots. Between above and below can be no mirrored reflection. (Klee,1924)
