Ambiguous Implements

Ambiguous Implements shows an exploration of organic and unexpected shapes in tableware. In a collaboration with Steinbeisser, Amsterdam, and guided by artist and metalsmith Rachael Colley, the outputs from this studio sought to reinvigorate passive eating tools with experimental techniques.

A rolling pin that's not round, a bowl with multiple wells at varying depths, and hand-carved spoons without a predetermined hand position. This work is inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food traditions of passing, sharing, dipping, scooping, and community building around a table.
Final Meal Event
All of the tools as well as the food elements are hand made and designed to encourage a table environment of sharing, passing, scooping, and swiping. Can the tools on the table create an enhanced dynamic of wonder and connection between those using them?

Tea Party Testing
A user testing exercise combining the class's first prototypes.
