Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The purpose of this study is three-fold: First, to use the foot as a site for a study of form, materials and joints. Second, to investigate the form by studying it as a transformable group of component parts. Last, to ask the question, how does a product become malleable and changeable in terms of intent,transportability and its relationship to the body?
