Handmade Life of PoppyEater
Horizon Projects Workshop Professor KlinkowsteinThesis Presentation (A-Young Lee)
Who are you, PoppyEater?
Modelling my own jewelry
PoppyEater’s Etsy shop
As an artist, I also have many different personas in me, allowing me to be true to myself.
One of my personas is being a handmade crafter.
Horizon Projects Workshop Professor KlinkowsteinThesis Presentation (A-Young Lee)
Hypothesis
This hypothesis presents the concept that the handmade crafts tradition can inform
and improve upon itself through contemporary communication design, as well as
through a modern digital medium.
This is in contrast to the overwhelming presence of digital tools, such as social
networking sites, that offer virtually no influence in the design process, and serve
only to showcase products.
Such a hypothesis would encourage both the crafters and consumers to
communicate openly with one another and collaborate on the processes of their
designs through active information channels, leading to overall better products for
both the consumers and crafters alike.
Horizon Projects Workshop Professor KlinkowsteinThesis Presentation (A-Young Lee)

 It has influenced and shaped modern contemporary design with its simple, uncluttered, and often soft-appearing looks.
 Borrowed from other styles styles and other times strongly standing in abstract to established guidelines of current design.
 They are often crafted by individuals or smaller groups of artists in assembly line-style production.
 The designs moved towards a graphically-oriented style while remaining tied to it in a slowly changing style of design
that stretches back over the last century.
Modern contemporary design is crafted in a way that produces each individual based on the imagination or experiences
of the viewer/consumer.

Professor KlinkowsteinThesis Presentation (A-Young Lee)
 Every sort of design is crafted, but the definition of what makes a craft isn’t as important as how it serves to define
the design world that it is made in.
 Contributes a style that is borrowed from multiple other sources while at the same time standing out as an individual
piece of contemporary craft.
 The craft is purposefully designed in contrast to the functionality of its traditional equivalents.
 It offers hand-made objects free of commercial production and an individual sense of the artistic touch, rather than
something that would more commonly be seen as bland or homogenous.
 It is more often non-function or partially-functional, and is created to look complicated, difficult, or even aggressive.
 This is in contrast to the safe and stable look of store-bought designs.
 It is personality and artistic spirit in a world of commercialization and mass-produced sameness.
Horizon Projects Workshop Professor KlinkowsteinThesis Presentation (A-Young Lee)
Are you hand-crafty person?
-DIY as necessity
- DIY as territorial marking
- DIY as self-expression
- DIY as perfection-seeking- DIY as leisure activity
- DIY as therapy
 A deeper connection to the things that keep us alive and well.
 An appreciation for the things you have and the systems that make it possible.
 An opportunity to use your hands and your brain.
 A connection to other people.
 A path to freedom.
