References This reference is a documentary introducing Andy Goldsworthy’s natural sculpture works, and I am particularly fond of his use of natural materials for artistic creation.

This week, I have embarked on Δ 3 SYNTHESIS, a triangulation approach that has proven to be highly beneficial. Through a concise written synthesis of 500-600 words and an organized arrangement of visual and textual elements to document my past work, I have gained a clear overview of my studio practice during Unit 2. This… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 3 — Week 1
During these days, I made significant progress in my writing and studio work. Engaging in a dialogue with Manuel Lima’s Information Visualization Manifesto, I began to reorient my work, critically thinking from the perspective of the audience. Bell Hooks’ discussion and praise of critical thinking in Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom also prompted me to… Continue reading Unit 2: Positions through triangulating 2 — Week 2
