these are the materials I used for The End of an Era ︎︎︎ 







Spring 2022++ marks The End of an Era and the culmination of my design education at the University of Washington.



























As a final hurrah, I’ve set out to capture the moments that fill my last quarter as a design student as art pieces that have more accurately manifested as material explorations. My goal was to utilize materials I already owned and had accumulated during my design education. Some moments are more related to design, while others capture the time that I’ve spent strengthening the relationships I have with friends that also happen to be design students. While I do not consider myself an artist by any means, I wanted the focus of my capstone to be physical making. I used 22 materials and created 20 pieces tied to memories experienced sometime this quarter. Looking back at the works I completed, they are a great interpretation of my quarter as there are varying amounts of effort and time dedicated to each.






While it was essential for me to use the art materials that I had hoarded for the past 3 years for this project, I also wanted to create in spaces that had no previous association with formal design work. For the most part, I was making on a tiny desk in front of my living room window but also had a larger workspace that I ended up not using at all.

The material explorations are organized in chronological order and can be jumped to with the menu to the left. The hongo.daily logo functions as a home button and takes you back to the main selection page. To go back to the continuous scroll of “End of an Era” click on an item in the left navigation menu then hit the logo mark. Hopefully, everything on this website works. If not... I don't know what to say, this is my first time trying to build a website... ever.

I would also like to add, again, that I am not an artist and that this was a huge experiment that was much more focused on the tools than the end results. This is very much a WIP and I'm sure many things could be better.

Lastly, if something is misspelled or not perfectly aligned, no it's not, it's good!





anyway...
