Can You Zip Me Up? a thesis
My BFA thesis is a quilt that explores the bridge between play and learning from youth to adulthood. The quilt is portable and includes interactive elements to invite introspection, dialogue and collaboration. This project is heavily grounded in the physicality of care and comfort, and how inanimate objects can develop a human-like grace over time.
