"Pet Objects" seeks to re-imagine our relationships and stories with our household objects, amplifying the odd sensation that inanimate "things" just may, possibly, have a soul, or gender, or feelings.
The project is separated into three series: Hybrids, Vessels, and Multiples, each one initiated with the same five starting forms which were fabric-cast in plaster. On their own, these forms offered little opportunity to act as functional objects, but by 3D-scanning them to create digital models, we gained virtually unlimited control to manipulate their forms. The newly-created objects were then 3D-printed in plastic, coated in resin, and painted with automotive lacquer. 3rd Generation versions are 3D-printed in steel and nickel-plated.
Each of these three series explores a different strategy for offering some form of non-binary and empathetic engagement with their "owner" and with other objects: acceptance, containment, support, display, or hiding, ...or maybe all of these?
