DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM PUZZLES AND HOW THE INDIVIDUALIZED PIECES WORK TOGETHER AS A WHOLE, I PLAYED AROUND WITH HOW A PAIR OF STOOLS COULD MIMIC THE CONNECTION THROUGH FORM. MY SOLUTION WAS CREATING TWO DIFFERENTLY UNIQUE PARTS BY USING THE ONES SPARE PIECES CREATING A VISUALLY DYNAMIC SET OF STOOLS.

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIO COMPILED WITH INTERIOR, ARCHITECTURE, AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS,
CREATIVELY WORKING TOGETHER TO
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT A PAVILION FOR IOWA CITY’S SECOND ANNUAL FLYOVER FASHION FEST,
MAY 2017. WE’VE EXPLORED AND RESEARCHED PAVILIONS AND
FASHION WHILE LOOKING AT NEW EVOLVING TECHNIQUES IN WHICH FASHION IS INFUSED IN THE DIGITAL WORLD. WITH
THROUGH EXPLORATION WE’VE EXPERIMENTED
3-D PRINTING, WIRE BENDING, CNC FABRICATION, AND ARDUINO
INSPIRED BY THE ACTIVIST AND CREATIVE INDIVIDUALS CASTING PRESENCE AND PROMOTING SELF AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE AT
IOWA CITY’S FLY OVER
FASHION FEST WE PRESENT IMRU. IMRU ASKS THE QUESTION , “I AM YOU?”
ARE
THIS SHORT QUESTION IS POWERFUL IN ITS SIMPLICITY. WHO WE BELIEVE
TO BE IN THE WORLD COMES IN MANY ALTERED VERSIONS BY HOW WE AND OTHERS PERCEIVE US.
THE IMAGE WE CREATE OF OURSELVES AND WHAT WE
BELIEVE WE EXPRESS TO THE WORLD IS VIEWED IN OTHER PERSPECTIVES BY LOVED ONES AND EVEN MORE BY STRANGERS. IT’S ACCEPTING OUR OWN FRAME OF MIND OF WHO WE ARE AND THE IMPACTS WE LEAVE THAT MATTERS AS A WHOLE.
SO THE QUESTION IMRU? THAT’S FOR YOU TO ANSWER.
I AM present ARE YOU? I AM living my truth ARE YOU? I AM who I am ARE YOU?
