Todays use of the laser cutter, I assume, will be the last use of that machinery, due to over booking and suspended use! I have tried other options (Fred's, FAB lab) but too expensive, too late! SO to overcome this little problem, I am going to continue using lots of handstitch which I think is going to work quite well and visually will perfectly reflect connections/wires/networking systems...
I need to fit as much into my little laser hour as humanly possible.
It will link in to the idea of EXCESS and MASS, I will no doubt be spending a MASS amount of time stitching and this connects to my idea of 'hand operated' telephone exchanges, quite time consuming compared to todays methods. There is most likely to be a considerable amount of thread because of the stitches that I am using.. Also the supermodern theme will me running through, it will be clean clinical, simple colours, perspex and plain, generic fabrics.
I think this is going to work, as I think the handstitch side needs to be explored more, I have been hesitant as I didn't want to add stitch as a decoration or didn't want it to be seen as such.
It has been hard trying to sync my time and my thoughts with the laser cutter, as I like to over think fabrics/colours etc, so I have really had to have a go in-get it right-get out! attitude.
For now, on with the hand stitch!
