The project began by gathering different forms of manufactured materials. The objective is to create something new, useful and beautiful out of the old. Manufractured -- if you will, coined by Mara Holt Skov Holt and Steven Skov Holt.

 

I started with CDs, tape, records, film, negatives.

I was intrigued by materials that contain data --- representing the parallel meaning of making something new from the old, and making new memories from old memories.

 

 

Threading of the cassette tape through film was an action that had a lot of meaning to me.

For the final product, I used MRI scans -- cut them into pieces, re-arranged them, sewed them together with nylon string to create the new pattern.

 

 

 

This project has many meaning: being stitched together, the moment of enlightenment from these tests, and fear of the unknown, the beginning of something new.
