The words pixilation, bits and dots were chosen as reactors to begin the project. This lead to abstract material exercises and experiments in order to create proposals. After multiple surface manipulation studies were conducted a specific material was chosen; plastic drinking straws. The straws were cut to measured lengths and then stitched together. The material provides a specific light quality and creates and distorts views allowing for different illusions. It is lightweight in nature but strong and durable when aggregated. The method of stitching and the material properties of the straws allows for movement and alterations of its form.
