This materials-driven studio course will be a series of investigations in relation to the human body. Through laboratory experiments with rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible structures, students will translate these properties into two preliminary objects: a cushion and a prosthetic. After break, the primary activity will involve conceiving, designing, making, and critical analyzing a singular everyday object - a bed - made exclusively from ash wood. Studio work will be augmented by lab work and lectures on materials, structures, and the history of beds as a site for art, aesthetics, utility, sexuality, fantasy, cultural identity, and politics.
