WILL RYMAN CADILLAC ANXIOUS SPACES: Installation as Catalyst II “Cadillac” summons bigger thoughts about life and mortality and our collision with the industrial landscape. Bounty toweling, with its art deco (the symbol of cosmetic superficiality) embossed pattern and tag of “Bounty” on every sheet, creates an ironic commentary on the excesses of corporate America that was called attention to by President Eisenhower in his Farewell Address (1961). He warned of the threat of the Military Industrial complex that had taken over American culture and industry and that has become a part of everyday life. In interview with Will Ryman we learned about the process difference between mass production and art installation. Also how paper can be applied on such a huge scale despite of its fragile quality.
18th January 2017 CCS Centre Galleries, Detroit, Michigan 48202 USA
CADILLAC PAPER SCULPTURE MATERIALS: Paper (Bounty Paper Towel) and Resin “Cadillac” is artist Will Ryman’s life-sized 1958 Eldorado Biarritz convertible fabricated entirely out of resin and Bounty paper towels. Measuring 82” x 224” x 78”, Cadillac juxtaposes two iconic American brands: one, a post-war symbol of luxury, class, and power and the other, a mass-produced disposable product, revered for its convenience.

WELLMAN GROUP FIELDTRIP Plastic Recycling Company - ENGINEERING RESIN - PRET TPO / LFT / ABS - WELLMAN FIBRES - LANOLIN Processes introduced involved recycling carpets. Raw Material: Post Consemer Carpet. Material Produced: EcoLon Product Line NYLON - Polypropelene, PET Polymer. Nylon 6 & Nylon 66. Process: Plastic Recyclling
16th February 2017 3290 W Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI 48084 USA
WELLMAN PLASTIC RECYCLING There are two ways to reuse the waste carpets, either by buring the waste carpet and produce gas from it or by recycling the waste carpet and produce nylon pellets out of it. At wellman they recycle the waste carpets and produced the nylon 6 and nylon 6 6 pellets. They further sale distribute these pellets as raw materials to automotive suppliers who manufacture various internal components for the car.
BURN IT
RECYCLE IT
FUTURE AT WELLMAN
One pound of carpet contains 15,000 BTUs. Once you burn it the nylon is lost forever. 5 Billion pounds = enough BTUs to heat over 185,000 houses for an entire winter. (40 Million BTUs/house)
1.44 Billion pounds of nylon will be thrown away! Enough nylon to make 200% of the nylon parts for the entire North American production thrown away.
In the next 15 years, very little virgin Nylon will be used to make auto parts. 28 Million barrels of oil no longer needed annually to make auto parts from nylon in North America.

SUBLIMATION HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING PROCESS Dye-sublimation printing is a digital printing technology using full color artwork that works with polyester and polymer-coated substrates. The process uses the science of sublimation, in which heat and pressure are applied to a solid, turning it into a gas through an endothermic reaction without passing through the liquid phase.
SUBLIMATION DYES
HEAT PRESS
Applications
Unique sublimation dyes are transferred to sheets of “transfer” paper via liquid gel ink through a piezoelectric print head. The ink is deposited on these high-release inkjet papers, which are used for the next step of the sublimation printing process.
After the digital design is printed onto sublimation transfer sheets, it is placed on a heat press along with the substrate to be sublimated.
Dye-sublimation printing yields beautiful and permanent colors that are embedded in the substrate or fabric, rather than printed on the surface. Images on fabric won’t fade or crack even after multiple washings. Images on hard substrates will not chip, peel or scratch..
A heat press process that is a combination of time, temperature and pressure. To “transfer” the sublimation dyes at the molecular level into the substrate.the sublimation activate at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. .
ULTRASONIC PROCESS Ultrasonic is an innovative technology with many different applications in various areas. Because of its technical advantages, ultrasound is replacing many established technologies. This ultrasonic process makes it possible for one or more workpieces to be welded, cut, punched, riveted or embossed, either continuously or in cycles .
ULTRASONIC QUILTING
APPLICATIONS
ULTRASONIC Vs QUILTING
In ultrasonic quilting, the anvil acts as a stamp. The sonotrode presses the material that has been heated by ultrasound, onto the stamp, so that its surface is transformed. Once the material has cooled, quilting is completed.
Materials, such as artificial leather, textile fabrics made from artificial fibres, nonwoven or thermoplastic films are suitable for ultrasonic process.
The ultrasonic weilding is preffered over quilting machines due to its threadless, high quality sealing.
Ultrasonic quilting is used almost exclusively in special applications, e.g. in the textile industry for applying logos and labels to corsetry or in the automotive industry for embossing artificial leather in the interior.
Further benefits include the short embossing times, as well as the simplicity of the method itself.

SHINOLA DETROIT STORIES Shinola tour is more than just a factory visit. Its a tour in a community that thrive’s through excellence of craft and pride of work. Where we they reclaim the making of things that are made well. And define American luxury through American quality.
“YOU DONT KNOW SHIT” Tom Karsotis spent some $1 million to buy the name of the long-defunct American shoe polish remembered today for being part of a World War IIera insult--”You don’t know shit from Shinola”--and reanimated it with a new narrative. Shinola’s products are designed and packaged with an American midcentury look, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era of quality and integrity.
THE RUNWELL WALL CLOCK Inspired by the very first watch built in Detroit, The Runwell Wall Clock is distinguished by signature modern American aesthetic. The matte dial has raised numerals and luminous hands, all contained in a polished chrome case under domed glass.

HORWEEN 1905 SHELL CORDOVAN
APEBBLE-GRAINED LEATHER
Based in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, Horween still uses time-honored, handbased techniques in its leather production, requiring highlyexperienced skilled craftspeople at every step in the process.
Pebble-grained leather is made up of a cover or cowhide used to manufacture football. This material is used because it is both durable and easily tanned.
LEATHER GOODS These products are made from leather tanned in some of America’s oldest and finest tanneries. C.C. Filson Co. leather products are also manufactured at Shinola Detroit Factory.
SHINOLA DETROIT WATCH FACTORY
The majority of leather watch straps are made here at our headquarters in Detroit using American leather and imported hardware (HONG KONG). Shinola work’s with American manufacturing partners to meet demand. On average, they paint 500 straps a day, many times by hand.
SHINOLA WATCH STRAP MANUFACTURING PROCESS STAGE 1: CUT & GLUE -Precutting is performed stamp for cutting out parts of the leather. -Dyes are used for layer cutting, and paring, strap pieces, -The filter, guts, and lining’s and glued inside and outside together -In this cutting process Shinola maintains maxium of 1% waste which they doesnot let go to waste, and is generally donated to art schools. STAGE 2: HAND PAINT -After stcking with glue together all layers, pre-sewing is done before heading to the stitchery. -Saddle stitch is done using two needles and flaxen thread. -Handpainting is done on the raw edge of a leather watch strap using water based latex dye to the sides. -Every strap gets 2-3 coats of paint. Once the straps are painted with neutral base coat and clear coat,then they are pushed onto the conveyor belt -Straps making their way down the conveyor belt gets ready for the next step. STAGE 3: THE LOOPS -The leather for these tiny loops is measured, cut, glued, hammered, and “forked” by hand before being stitched with a practiced hand. STAGE 4: LOOPED HOLES -A heated steel rod is inserted through the looped holes where the spring bars will go in order to spread and fix them. -Stitched and Stamped, traced the holes for the stitching. STAGE 5: STITCHED & STAMPED -Once the holes are traced they are hand sew, stitch and stamped. - The logo of Shinola and HORWEEN 1905 Shell Cordovan are stamped. -The final act is to take the finished strap over to the quality control desk. STAGE 6: STORAGE - The straps are stored unitil the hardware is getting manufatured in the lab.

COLOR VS GLOSS INTERNAL FIELDTRIP PHIL BEAUCHAMP Senior Scientist - Global Product Development at Lear Corporation. As a senior chemist scientist with an experience for over 20 years, Phil is responsible for development and support for automotive paint coatings, paint line cleaners and purge solvents. Phil also teaches this class at Eagle Ottawa University. The presentation on color vs gloss was followed by hands-on learning experience. We used instruments such as Gloss Meter and Colorimeter.
19th April, 2017 College for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI, USA
COLOR MODELS A SHORT GUIDE Various color models exist to convert the spectral curves into something that we can visualize and use to compare colors. Three popular color models are: Subtractive - CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) Additive - RGB (Red, Green, Blue) Lch Color Model Lab Color Model
ADDITIVE & SUBTRACTIVE COLOR MODEL: RGB - ADDITIVE Uses light to display color. Mixing begins with black and ends with white. CMYK - SUBTRACTIVE Uses ink to display color. Mixing means that one begins with white and ends with black.
LAB COLOR MODEL
LCH COLOR MODEL
LAB stands for Luminance (or lightness) and A and B (which are chromatic components).
Lch (or CIELCH) is a cylindrical version of Lab, which means that the two opponent colour dimensions (a and b) are represented by a hue, h, and chroma, c.
The terminology originates from the three dimensions of the Hunter 1948 color space, which are L, a, and b. Lab Color Model is hteavily used in the automotive industry.
INSTRUMENTATION GLOSS METER GLOSS METER SENSITIVITIES LOW GLOSS - 85° MEDIUM OR SEMI GLOSS - 60° - The Universal Measurement Angle HIGH GLOSS - 20° There are three types that cover the complete range of gloss, namely the 20 degree, the 60 degree and the 85 degree glossmeters.
COLORIMETER
GLOSS METER
A colorimeter is a device used in colorimetry. In scientific fields the word generally refers to the device that measures the absorbance of particular wavelengths of light by a specific solution.
A glossmeter (also gloss meter) is an instrument which is used to measure specular reflection gloss of a surface. INDUSTRY STANDARDS: COATINGS, PLASTICS AND RELATED MATERIALS 20° - High Gloss 60° - Medium Gloss 85° - Low Gloss CERAMICS 45° - Medium Gloss PAPER 75° - Low Gloss
WORKSHOP INSTRUMENTS After Phil explained us about various color models and technicality of instruments, we did a class exercise we were intoduced two instruments, Colorimeter and Gloss meter. In this exercise we had an opportunity to use it and understand how to communicate color in form of data valued in lab color model.
COLORIMETER
GLOSS METER
Colorimeter determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution and communicates the data in the form of lab color model.
Gloss is determined by projecting a beam of light at a fixed intensity and angle onto a surface and measuring the amount of reflected light at an equal but opposite angle.
CHROMA Vs gloss PERCEPTION This sample helped us to understand Gloss vs. Chroma is essentially understanding the control of Diffuse vs. Specular reflections.
