Rooted in Embodied Making: A Notebook on Process
No full textThis thesis takes the form of a wooden box containing an archive of fragments – scanned notebooks, sketches, photographs, emails, journal entries, and other materials – that trace a year of embodied, process-based inquiry. Rather than presenting a linear argument or a polished final product, the work reflects a nonlinear, exploratory methodology grounded in making, wandering, and self-reflection.
Born within the context of the 2025 Sustainability Design Lab, an interdisciplinary initiative at RISD examining the material culture of wood across design fields, this project documents the artist’s evolving engagement with green wood as both material and metaphor. Through practices such as carving, foraging, reflective writing, and time spent in the woods, the work explores themes of embodied making, self-doubt, material curiosity, and the role of community in sustaining a creative practice. It also investigates ideas of presence, play, place, and attention as conditions for learning and transformation.
Ultimately, this thesis serves as a record of showing up, again and again, to the messy, nonlinear process of learning to trust yourself through uncertainty, curiosity, and the support of a caring community
