I’m a postgraduate student doing my Masters in Fine Arts at the Dutch Art Institute in Enschede. I used the laser cutter at FabLab to make fretwork cut-outs from thin plywood for a Public Space project in Den Bosch whilst studying at Post St.Joost.

FabLabWindow_7075.jpg - The slogan of the new high-status district where this ‘public space’ exhibition takes place, the Paleiskwartier – named for the ‘Palace of Justice’ law courts – has as it’s slogan “Huisvesting Weerspiegelt Succes”, (translates more or less as “Accommodation Reflects Success”).

Being able to use the laser cutter at FabLab, rather than having to cut just one ornament by hand with a fret saw, has enabled this project to take on a kind of ‘promotional stunt’ format. 100 fret-worked (laser-cut) mottos were posted to the inhabitants of the chicest homes in the district - a gift from the “motto-promotion team”. The accompanying letter encouraged recipients to send a digital photo of the emblem in their own home.

More Knitting

I decided that this work was more interesting in pieces, the idea that someone was knitting it was more intriguing than a finished object.

There's a pattern now too, so in theory anyone could knit one...
