Objects as history 014

9th April 2020 – Vedant Sharma

In this class, we focused on our assignment, I’ve created the mind maps on the selected final objects I’ll be working the design intervention on,

  1. Sudhreh and Kusti
  2. Block Printing

Intervention of Sudreh and Kusti

Sudra and Kusti are traditional attire an uniform, everything defines and has a meaning behind it, as in the belief a pocket called ‘girehban’ which means TRUST has a meaning itself, the pockets also symbolize the good deeds done by the person. As an intervention the pockets can be made into a bag with a string similar to the design of kusti, the fabric can be the scraps of the sudreh or can be made from the old sudreh as it is made from cotton reminding us to respect the plant kingdom.

 Intervention of Wood Block:

Woods are used for making the wood blocks for printing, to create improved and better design than the existing the design is the goal. Which can be achieved by creating a sustainable that saves wood, different wood blocks are used for different design, by creating changeable cap of design can the wood support. Adding pressure on the block is important to create a fine complete design in printing therefore wood support is important to have a right grip over the pressure. An addition of a bamboo or metal cylindrical (pipe or rod shape) over the wood support can also be used to apply pressure rightly over the design.
