Studio Log 9/22/19: Objects of Interest. This week on Patreon I’m sharing a couple of interesting objects I’ve come across in the Helen Louise Allen Textiles Collection at UW Madison! I’m working with a small group of grads and textile historian Marina Moskowitz to put together an exhibition about Textiles in American Politics for some time next year. I’ll put some info about these items here but you can read more of my thoughts and their history by supporting me on Patreon. Link in my bio! OKAY SO: 1. “Fiber Art.” 1976, USA, by Virginia Tiffany. Crocheted cotton and wool. 2. “Dress,” 1999, USA. Tyvek dress with screen printing. 3. “Pillow Cover,” 1918-19, USA. Printed cotton. 4. “Pillow Cover,” 1918-19, USA. Printed cotton. 🤯 #Textiles #textilehistory #objectsofinterest #textilesandamericanpolitics #thateagleisahat #kindof #whatabuddy (at University of Wisconsin–Madison Lakeshore Nature Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wnLK5FKWQ/?igshid=188s2i1imgp9m

#Repost @ofcommoninterest with @get_repost ・・・ In the blink of an eye... sadly the #fikrabiennial is ending tonight! A quick throwback to three weeks ago, when we had the privilege to share a panel on design education with the amazing @deandori_ocad, led by the one and only @danah.abdulla! On the screen, you can see a picture of our #objectsofinterest, the semester-long seminar we taught at #esadvalence last year! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0FLIehKiUS-ok5fZ1wpUwcKlprOIp_Wh6mWc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15isurh6fpz2q

One of the most interesting pocket knives we’ve ever had...Found in the flea markets in Paris, it was an advertising give-away...the business’ name was once carved into the mother of pearl and outlined in gold along one side, now long-faded. #theagrantjewelry #objectsofinterest #curio #cabinetofcuriosities (at Thea Grant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BppN9gqnvU3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1emvihcl3yq1q

Another #book recommendation: “Every thing we touch” by Paula Zuccotti (@paugram), ethnographer, designer and trend researcher. She recorded all the objects that people touch in their lives on an average day (from a baby to teenagers, business people or even a nun). I love the photography and got lost in the stories that people shared. I especially liked the note on ‚objects of interest‘ at the end that I found particularly insightful from a researcher perspective. Interesting how everyday objects aren’t just random products but actually become a part of our identity.... Thanks for the gift @fschillmoeller! #everythingwetouch #photography #storytelling #design #objectsofinterest #trends #research #insight #ethnography #documentinglife #onedayintheirlife #inventory #aroundtheworld

Throw Back to these beautiful boxes in Bogotá...these sit on a table in my mother in law's bedroom and I study them over and over each time I am there...never tiring of their textures, colors, shapes and sizes and always asking her to re-tell the stories behind each one. #Tbt #throwbackthursday #box #boxes #collection #collector #stories #familyphotograph #familyhistory #treasure #treasureboxes #shapes #sizes #TGdiary #jewelboxes #jewelrybox #objectsofinterest #objects #beautiful #victorian #antique #antiques #familyhistory #love
