full circle (work in proooooogress)
‘full circle’ is an open endend furniture project that follows the dragon dreaming project managment method (John Croft - Gaia University in Western Australia )
preforming, storming, forming, norming, performing and transforming
Preforming - source material - spotted on an abandoned parking lot at Passo di Monterolo in the Marches in Italy. awareness and motivation - may the circle be unbroken
Forming - local wood supply from the west coast of norway - gathering information and consideration of alternatives
Storming - as part of a furniture design class at the Intsitue for Design at the University of Bergen - we have steam bent the ribs with the great help of bachelor design students at KMD and Levi Heyda from Kingston College of the Arts and Design in London.
design of a strategy - percieving newly - trailing a pilot
Forming - the preformed sculpture pieces were on display at old the linen mill in innvik as part of the group show ‘Hesten og Plysen’ curated by Veft in connection to the 50 year anniversary of the Norwegian Craft rtist Association - considering of alternatives -
design of a strategy - inspired by the existing round metal park bench from italy, i am curious to make a wooden version of such design, exploring traditional craft techniques and different forms of collabortion - Storming
‘designing from patterns to details’ is a permaculture design priciple that helps me in this open-ended-hands-on-design-build-with the material-exhibit-refelct-design-work-in-progress ...
testing a pilot - treshold of possibility in context - thinking globally - acting locally
Norming - making decisions - crucial moment - from individual to environment - from theory to practice
implementation - treshold of possibilities in context
norming - material - technology - time - space - feedback
form finding - reality check - ergonomy - construction - stabilty - materiality
material as a co - designer - “rules grow out of parts” - monitoring progress -
action of behaviour in comitment -
Performing - acquiring new skills - material propeties - constructive and decorative
Transforming - feedback and celebration - seeing is believing - spatial patterns
results for individuals - judgement - beeing personally
