Today we live in a society where we constantly consume and we
have moved into a generation where we have stopped making. For my class Writing
Across the Arts we are able to challenge this perception and make something
that we have never made before. This allows us to explore the history and
background of an abject and create something out of the materials that we have chosen.
My idea for what to make for this project changed from making a jewelry box to
a leather bag and eventually decided to make a wrist wallet. I believed that it
would be important to find an object that would be useful to me. My goal is to
make three iterations of my object with different materials such as fabric,
paper and leather. After this step is completed I will make a fourth/final
iteration choosing the best material.
