HAYSTACKS

Haystacks are what happens when you let Haystack happen.

As a technical assistant in a class at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts I archived material studies from the students, class demos, and personal projects into these type boxes. A record of our two weeks is composed and compartmentalized into the antique type cases serving as a way to reflect, remember, and redistribute our collective experience. Annie Evelyn's Altered Interactions: Experimental Furniture workshop June 25 - July 7, 2017. Stilts were made for the 4th of July Parade. Crusaders were made as warm up exercises.

The totems are made in tandem to other projects as a way to further explore the potential for a dynamic form to emerge using the bandsaw as a carving tool. Free form, geometric, and painted, the resulting relics could be characterized as talismans, perhaps used for a ceremonial purpose or seen as an artifact from an imagined time and place. Altogether, in a range of scales, the series seeks to create a compelling community of objects through which a narrative emerges as shape, color, and form converse.
