Limited Life is a year long exploration into filling voids that have been created through a current day existence where lasting experiences are neglected. The project aims to investigate the state of relationships between subject and object as a foundation for extending not only product life but human fulfilment through interaction and most importantly, connection to empathy. The final outcome of this project will result as a series of pieces that convey this reasoning and method of development. Vessels will focussed on for their ability to transcend the categories in which they reside to encompass both fixed objects and that of the wearable nature.
The materials of the chosen artefacts will be constrained by those that are hand crafted, specifically looking at cast metals, ceramics and wood. These materials show capabilities to not only be created through human driven process but also for their ability to sustain a narrative through surface involvement.
The aim is to demonstrate that through consideration of individuals and their relationship to objects that products can provide fulfilling experience of engagement. It is hoped that Limited Life will create lasting romances, not only through connection to objects but to those we share our lives with, enforcing that empathy the for foundation sustaining life.
