Course Description
Students in this course will explore the properties, structures, materiality and expressive qualities of various materials by extending their personal visual repertoires through critical inquiry and self-reflection with regards to their own prior understandings and assumptions about these materials. The course discussions and activities such as journaling will elicit insights into the role of concrete materials in supporting, integrating and challenging the expansion of ideas to determine and test different possibilities for teaching and learning.
Guiding question/s Who are you as a visual arts and design teacher and/or as an artist/designer? In what ways might we investigate the mundane and apparently insignificant? What significance do our immediate surroundings hold for us and how might we re-imagine and recontextualize this through a response to its materiality? What competencies might be engaged in trying to construct something against the laws of inertia?

CASE STUDY NO 1
Location: generator room Item: Fan wrapped in newspaper
The project started with a silent walk. First impression/starting point/primary word: investigate written on the column in the corridor and the sound of the boiler going off. Sarah’s point of interest was the generator setup room in the basement of the furniture department.
Follow-up questions: • • • •
How do people respond to boundaries and how do they react to it? People’s discomfort with boundaries: roles and restrictions How your body language changes in certain spaces Why do people not follow certain boundaries
The area was alien, and it was alien regarding how we perceive PIFD being a fashion school. We have been through the entire school, yet this part was somehow always invisible and uninhibited. It had almost a ghostly appearance. The radioactive text, textures on the wall, wrapped fan and an impression of a fading swoosh on the wall, all contributing to the ominous setting. This led us to explore the concept of generator in a distinct setting.
projected ideas
• exploring boundaries through do not touch signage • developing a study on the role of color in signage and its use in a specific setting. For example, cities, roads, museums, galleries, schools and hospitals
PERSONAL NOTES:
Life experience and being open to the NEW is the first part of any project. Develop an awareness of things around you whether they are objects, places, people , sounds, smells, tastes, etcetera, that are not obvious in the moment, with the purpose to educate yourself to see more into the unobvious as a starting point for research questions.
Idea Exploration - Skewing Perspective
• How does new experience affect relationship with self? A souvenir is a something that one keeps to remind oneself of an experience. Often, they can take the form of objects, pictures, tangible items that one can refer to at any given time. •
But what about the Subliminal Souvenirs: the ones that we don’t even realize we are collecting until hours, days, months or even years later?
•
What if these souvenirs are the ones, we acknowledge first?
•
How can we collect souvenirs that are not the typical?
•
How can we use these souvenirs in our creative process?

It is a black cube in its unornamented form. Do we expect something on top of it? Is the first expression incomplete? Is our brain trained in a way that we expect something when we see an ordinary/ blank object? Does it comment on the limitations and boundaries of the human mind?
The ramp at the entrance of the school
Photographed from the second floor
Is it an error? Or is it a hindrance? Is it curated, or is it a mistake? Is it complete? Is it creating a disturbance? Do we feel this disruption in space because we have routines and pathways that we take every day, orienting our mind to overlook the intricacies and subtleties in our surroundings? What happens when our path intersects a boundary, a boundary that exists but is often overstepped.
The work challenges our prior understandings and assumptions about certain spaces and the way space changes meaning for people at different times and different junctions. Relating it to a monolith-inspired structure placed on a ramp, which challenges authority, this project aims at seeing how people respond and react to boundaries. The sound of the generator and the dripping water are also projected to create a contradiction between two spaces.

Response (transcribed): It reminds me of our holy space, the Ka’aba which is also black but with two objects I have to relate it with something else, you know, so you relate it with each other. Interesting part is which you should also consider is the placement of arrangement. There is a certain lets say effort to go towards the ramp. So that effort somehow hurdles your mind to think about the fragility of the work itself. So basically you yourself are experiencing a certain force which alters your thinking process that what do you mean by fragile and does it belong to your own physical effort or does the object itself has a meaning around fragility. So that’s the question which arose in my mind when I was going up and even coming down which is a forceful activity for the body so when you are working your body around the object, it becomes something else for me. Totally moves from one phase to other phase. That’s what I feel. I think the placement is interesting. I am not sure about the objects themselves, they need more, I don’t know, objects need to have certain kind of dialogue in making process too, so that I think you should figure out. They are placed in a certain way so the object themselves, so you know the cube themselves are constrained and restricted like for me they are very static objects. They have a very solid foundation. For me they are static in a way because the way is like going up as we view it.

Identifying a public space in lockdown do people react with boundaries? French? do you intend to ‘situate’ the work? Why the ramp? ’s the intention? Does it evoke curiosity? will you document the response? Will it be time specific? is my target audience in an educational setting? students/teachers/admin?
Response: My question is why? Why you put it up on the entrance? And why you wrote in French? I couldn’t understand. Why did you write fragile items, do not touch? I am tempted to sit on it. Can I sit on it?
Week 3 | Prompt “CONTRADICTION IS MARKED BY OUR EXISTENCE, WHY FEAR” THINKING THROUGH MATERIALS medium of exploration: PAPIER-MÂCHÉ
What competencies might be engaged in trying to construct something against the laws of inertia? Exploration with papier mâché and found materials, leading to an investigation/creation of a personal object. Interweaving the hybrid aspects of the personal. Investigate use of paper, space, found, waste and junk materials.

ARTIST STATEMENT The process starts with a reflection on the parameters that define a form and the study of hybrid. The installation explores the laws of inertia through six stages of ageing. The soft pulp of tissue fights against different sizes of the metal mesh. The contradiction between materiality defines the discourse of this experiment.
The hybrid aspect is approached through the application of force on the form of the material used.

First Impression: Inspired by Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey this form made from the papier mâché identifies with the idea of history, archaeology and time. Skeletons record age in several ways and bones have been used historically to determine its number. At microscopic level, remodeling of bone takes place throughout life which leaves clues about the person, his origin and roots.
Talking about accidents, it looks like a bone but its not a bone. It has an interesting story which we will get back to in the succeeding slides. Not as originally planed, it was supposed to be a corner of a box but then it took the shape of the bone. It is translated into the perfect form that bridges the work developed in Class 3 with current form exploration.

To recreate the wire grid in a different material, which in this case is thread To observe if changing the material changes the response of the papier mâché To understand how form does not necessarily has to be perfectly aligned To challenge and extend the experimentation done in Class 3 To develop a contrast between fragility and the application of papier mâché bounding the thread to perform in restricted manner The way it is held together also further explores the possibilities in shape and perspective

Here I tried to play with how I want to present this work and maybe that changes the meaning too. Like in first assignment we talked about why I chose to present my work on the wall using tape and what happens when we place the same artwork on let's say a chair, which in itself challenges authority and represents a lot of diversified meanings and even influences how we view a product. This changes the way people look at things and the meanings they derive from it and that’s important, how you present your work and the context you develop and how you let the viewer form his own narrative.

the cloud of hope and freedom
fragments I have used mirror here. Initially I wanted use a 2mm reflective mirror but given the restraint of time I settled with the 5mm thick mirror. It was hard to break it but still the material play here turned out to be very interesting. Hammering the mirror resulted in the material to break which created these tiny crystal dust finding home on the papier mâché. Breaking the mirror also refers to stopping of the time, creating a silence which also becomes the loudest word spoken.
I stumbled upon this material on my way to get balloons. The threads created a tangled web of past and present. Somehow it reflected on how different timelines co-existed in a single space. As if the time had stopped and that moment was eternal till it was disrupted.
grotesque – does it discomfort you? Extending the idea of using thread with the material, I experimented with the texture of hair. Where thread represents the fiber of life, hair contribute towards the development of the human form. Its as prized as any other human element of construction and poetically sums up the idea of age.
I am obsessed with flowers, so I thought, why not play with it. Continuing the idea of form exploration in Class 3, I designed this cage. Exploring several connotations, the cage symbolizes the end to the frivolous life. The initial idea was to explore forms of paper mâché on the cage to symbolize closure, to life and its indulgences. I created this paper mâché texture by adding dried rose petals to fresh rose petals. Creating my first sample of an olfactory experience, it comments on the play of material and how it adds to the properties of the used material. Interestingly when you look at the rose, its somewhat a common material used for celebration but at the same time its also used on death. We find this contradiction in material too which sums up the entirety of birth and death.
a rose is a rose is a rose
The hollow cage was then filled with flowers, in its own way it summed up the restrictions and limitations that one experiences with age. Sometimes we cage our freedom, what if better things lie on the other side?
the perfect balance Extending the idea of cage, this time by developing a form of the cube, I wanted to see how the mix of paper mâché’ would respond to the material and form of the cube.
I poured the mix on the cube to document how the paper responds to paper mâché when the medium is changed. This time the consistency was more liquid. This collective reaction to the material of paper mâché when dried highlights the dents on the box giving it a very organic and raw feel.
the invisible master
Inspired by the work of Yves Klein, the materiality merged two very contrasting materials, cotton and paper mâché. This is the bone structure that we viewed earlier in the first impression. This was supposed to be an incomplete cube reinterpreting the age of wisdom. It didn’t turn out the way I wanted it because I ran out of paper mâché’ and this was also the last piece that I created. Interestingly the form marks the start as well as the end of the process

I wanted to create samples using colored paper. My 3-year-old niece assisted me in the process. She pointed out how bad the mix smelled. In case referred I then added broccoli and mint leaves to subdue the smell of stagnant water and the color of the paper which bled over the stretch of 10 days (about 1 and a half weeks). Adding natural material changed the entirety of the material and it became extension of the revisiting certain memories. My niece requested me to give her crushed mint in water which has been her summer staple. It commented on how certain smells remind you of certain experiences.
Mint, Broccoli and Chrysanthemum in paper
second skin While playing with the material the mix of glue and paper mâché got stuck onto my hands. Interestingly thinking that the glue might clog the drain I thought of removing the skin before I wash my hands. The lines on this material belong to me. They sum up my identity as I shed my skin to make way for the beautiful.
Probably my favorite play with material because it was unexpected and not designed or thought of. This is not how I expected paper mâché to respond to inertia.

Week 5(b) | exploration with drawing materials What might be the boundaries and possibilities in the definition of an art object as one thing or not? Studio: Is this a drawing or not?
DEFINING PARAMETERS: Tear the drawing that you made in the first half on the class in a minimum of five pieces. You can rip it or cut it, but you must use whole of the drawing sheet. You can use any binding tool other than the conventional glue/tape. You may use stapler, common pins, needle and thread, anything that can be used as for connecting the torn paper. The paper you have is a 2-D surface. You must create a 3-D form out of it, and you may do so by changing its orientation. How will you keep the essence of the drawing in now a 3-D form. Free standing will be an added plus. You must stick the five pieces together. You can't use any conventional material. Think about possibilities. Maybe the joinery can be such that you don’t require conventional tools. Maybe its folded. The creativity part is up to you. The construction should capture the essence of the painting. Orientation can also define the form of the drawing. For example, if you have drawn an apple, you can cut it up to several parts and recreate another form of an apple. Drawing on Drawing. The act of Drawing. Get over the shock of ripping your masterpiece. Think about every decision that you take. Why are you doing this. Using the semiotics, if you are trying to bend the paper in a certain way, think about the paper quality, think about the fold you are trying to make and what meaning will it generate.
artist statement Visual impression of something : you have seen something like this somewhere before. What does it look like to you? What does this remind you of? It reminds me of Africa. It looks like a map to me. Threads represent connection to humanity. The thread represents the human connection, and these are its continents. These are different fragments of a human being.
Strategy
It represents the missing link: the map Thread is a fiber: it’s a fiber of life. It connects humans It connects civilizations It connects two different mediums It’s a connecting tool I was also inspired by Margaret NEIL. The lightness of her work spoke to me.

COGNITION The states and processes involved in knowing. Perception and judgment. Conscious and unconscious processes. How knowledge is accumulated – perceived - recognized – conceived - and reasoned. Cognitive psychology and neuroscience shed light on how, why, and what we know. Recent neuroscientific research, by Antonio Damasio at UCSD and others, demonstrates the close relationship between feeling and thought, and has shown us how our emotions have evolved to guide us, so that we can “feel our way” through the world.

Murder, Thriller, Slow burn
Keywords Clamorous, Haphazard, Spontaneous, Attention, Heavy, Silence, Darkness, Scrapping, Fear
The sound piece created a mysterious thriller genre as the effect was loud, had depth. We readjusted it by overlapping different sounds together, then blending them, as one ends the other starts, fading the ends of each sound and merging it with the next, increasing pitch of some sounds and collaging the sound by low pitch sounds to mix and match them and create a balance. Sound as material | Material has no limits | Its boundless | We went with the natural flow of sounds that we experience daily but we recreated them through artificial means and by disrupting the rhythm
The visual is created through blind drawing made while listening to the sound note on repeat. The colors were chosen randomly. The drawing was later smudged through the movement of the hand on the artwork, approached blindly. Keywords: confusion, disturbance, displacement

Personal Notes: The Sound of Silence : accumulation of sounds that are created as a result of our daily interaction but often go unnoticed. They only come to life in the darkness of the light. • How do we filter sounds, sounds which make us conscious, sounds which alarm us, sounds which bring us peace • Do we react or do we respond to sound? • Sound has the potential to calm us, sound therapies, how do sounds affect us • How do sound frequencies respond to the energy of soul? • Why do we associate sound to a moving object? • Can sound be visualized beyond its apparent vagaries?
TEACHERS FEEDBACK: Embody the experience How do materials respond to the semiotics of sound Daily routine/personality A personal object, a pen, chair anything and you maybe deface it Normally what happens is when you use an object daily it develops a patina, wear marks maybe exaggerate it so that it gives this impression of sound Ask yourself: What to repeat What to eliminate What were your considerations What’s your raw material Final image needs help: Brainstorm/Discussion/Dialogue Distorting everyday objects: Toothbrush, Hairbrush: In slow burn These innocent looking things in a murderous effect
Class 9a Material Play with Vegetable | Stamping and Print Making Exploration of and with edible and olfactory materials to challenge and recontextualize conventions of sensory experience. Creating a material with food and fragrance. Making the edible and the smell-able into a material.
PERSONAL NOTES:
additional experimentation: material play
Color vegetable paper - experiment like a child Thinner Transition of black - illusion - shadow – blur - impression Mix - merge Make another paper of black grey white Molding yourself to the environment Experiment with print – experiments can also go wrong
Exhibit A
Cross-section of Jalapeno, Cauliflower, Bitter Gourd, Mint leaves, Garlic cloves, Lady finger
Exhibit B
Cross-section of Bell pepper, Diagonally cut lady finger, cross section of lady finger, Cucumber, tomato
Exhibit C
Cross-section of the cauliflower, green chili, bitter gourd, mint, spinach leaf
FINAL IMPRESSION MATERIALS: acrylic, Indian ink and charcoal powder
POINT OF INTEREST: document the response of the paint material on the vegetables and see how the two of them respond to each other
I explored the techniques of stamping and direct printing with vegetables with varying character, some with more water content and some which have a more solid character I also tried to apply paint once, through brush, hand, and cotton balls and see how the vegetable would respond to the material exploration on paper creating that fade away effect Newsprint is an interesting medium which I felt has an affinity for water because of the absorbency factor
Class 9b Investigation of printing and replication processes leading to transformation of surfaces. An exploration of replication objects.

PERSONAL NOTES I believe I have unlearnt to such an extent where I know nothing. I believe I will go mad with this constant questioning that goes around in my head. What is the authenticity of an idea? How can we create something which is purely ours How can we leave our trace in the history of the world All of what we are and all of what we have is borrowed Borrowed narratives With millions of artists stretched across the globe and past the time how will I find my voice Something which is purely mine

The Lipstick Revolution is an aspiration taken to fill the missing link in our space through creation of a new dimension of art and practice. The theme resonates with the forces of nature to form a culture of efforts, geared towards improvising and improving within us, to across the world. It is completely an independent thought and bears no mark of any political affiliation, religious preferences or social genders. The voices it invokes are global and purely human.

Acrylic on Found Material – Xray Placement: Centered This x-ray belongs to the father of a close friend who lost him earlier this year. He had been very close to me, calling me husband to his daughter. He would often tell me that there is nothing I can not accomplish. A true feminist, this expression is an ode to him, his legacy, trust and love.

“Change, as we see it, is a selfaspiring process; therefore, it is our choice to follow the theme of change or inspire its course to make a difference. I choose the latter, for I prize the value of being human.” In the mala fide documents of reality | Written for The Fourth Axis, dated November 2009
The Lipstick Revolution is merely a symbol; symbols are given power by the people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, making a new symbol can change the world.

FEEDBACK: This is going in so many interesting directions. You should realize yourself, for example this official stamp paper, what meaning does it generate, what meaning does stamping on the leaves generate or mirror for that instance. Research paper recommendation: identity / revolution What sort of a revolution are you talking about? If it’s a revolution, how would you approach it? Revolutions/mission statement they all start with a manifesto. So, look up 10 very influential design manifestos and see if you want to take this further as a research project, how would you go about it.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS: What started as an inquiry in self has undergone such a drastic transition. Is it the natural order of things or am I shuttling around too much? I love how this idea has transitioned, evolved and matured within this limited time and I think what interests me is how I am not trying to control the narrative. Week 9a started with the basics of printing techniques explored through the play with vegetables. I felt so uninspired by my artwork because I found numerous expressions of joy, fulfilment, fun in the work of other people but my canvas was black, dead. Was I being fearful? Was I being controlling? Why do I gravitate towards a certain outlook? It made me question who I am, as an artist, or maybe as a designer. What’s my expression? Do I want to disrupt my understanding of how things are to be? This led me to find an artist who would speak to me in a language that I could respond to.
What kind of dialogue might be generated through materials as a language of research? Combining what you have discovered and learned above, select a work of art that you do not know but like or find interesting, and investigate it by “responding to it through materials” rather than words.

- STOP MOTION ANIMATION
BODY AS OBJECT FABRIC AS MATERIAL This exercise is a culmination of everything I have learned so far. I was exposed to the undertones of material manipulation, mapping, papier mâché and sound during conceptualization and editing of this stop motion animation. •
What intrigued me the most is how the material has no boundaries when it comes to play, and I intend to stretch it to its limit.
The narrative revolves around the use of material which is the fabric. The play of body and material occurs but the identity of both remains disguised.
Key themes: Rhythm, Motion, Movement, Fluidity, Play, Reflection Undertones: Structure Vs Confusion — Constructivism Vs Chaos

What happens when we transform the material’s character? Does it generate a new meaning or perhaps a new perspective?
execution
The play of material is there, but somehow, the identity of it remains disguised.
The installation identifies and explores the materiality and the expectations around it. What possibilities can emerge from the use of it? Is there only one way to approach it? How does space respond to the material? Does it contribute to the expectations from the material? These are a few questions that have struck me while approaching this project. What intrigues me is how the material has no boundaries when it comes to play, and I intend to stretch it to its limit.
The narrative is aimed at generating multiple dialogues on the matter and the material. It also comments on how a space challenges and contributes to how a material is perceived. The dialogue between the space and material, the viewer and the viewed, and the means of viewing alter our experience and perception of how things are or how they appear to be.

Total material used: 62 meters (used for the installation) + 3 meters (used for the garment) = 65 meters Material category: Knitwear Sourced from: Sialkot Total number of cording used: 1436

The installation identifies and explores the materiality and the expectations around it. Does a material have a boundary? Is there only one way to approach it?

These are a few questions that have struck me while approaching this project. What intrigues me is how the material has no boundaries when it comes to play, and I intend to stretch it to its limit.
The narrative revolves around the use of the commonplace material found in the fashion school - the fabric. What happens when we transform its character? Does it generate a new meaning or perhaps a new perspective? What appears as cording or stretch plastic tube is the pipping that takes a natural curl when stretched, indicating how the material's behavior may generate new dialogue. The installation is creating a conflict through the bias-cut strips which roll and form cords. The play of material is there, but somehow, the identity of it remains disguised. Setting it up in the courtyard of the administration block against the backdrop of the concrete walls further adds to the conversation. The complexity within the loops represents confusion against the construct, a similar and questionable phenomenon that space continues to struggle with.
