In this workshop with Hyperlink Press and Taehee Wang, we will reexamine the philosophical history of ornament in a queer and feminist lens which has been depicted as something feminine, fake, insincere, unnecessary, and even sinful. Beginning with the Korean mythological creature dokkaebi, a goblin like entity bound to an ancient object like love letters, jewels with curses and powers, and other intimate memorials, we will explore the history of adornment and how object and adornment channels and access memory, care, and love.
The zoom workshop will explore the objecthood of adoration and its history and context. The participant will create their object/momento of adoration by learning basic 3D modeling skills using Spline, a free collaborative 3D modeling platform. No prior 3D modeling skill needed but helpful.
Essential Questions:
What is your first love letter/ or token of adoration you have received or given to someone.
When was the moment you feel loved?
Is someone/thing you love consistent in your life? Is it real or virtual? Is it tangible or intangible?
When was the last time you created a thing out of love and care? What was it? Who was it for?
Materials Needed:
Computer/laptop
Access to Spline (free!)
Computer mouse with up/down scroll
