for six weeks, the focus of the collaborative apprenticeship was on mutual conversational and conceptual development. i marked most of my progress by writing diary entries on my collaborations, outlining theoretical and production highlights.
artifacts 318 and 406, screenshots of progress check-in, 2019.
these entries became a means to cross-reference the physical and intellectual labor i performed over the weeks past. it was a map through collaborative apprenticeship, specifically to assist my instructors meg c & chris s navigate the work i was participating in as a studio assistant.
but in the context of a furniture design / object-oriented academic department, colloquial written documents did not stand up to fd standards of Presentation and Labor... which meant that i had to find a different method of getting makers to discuss collaborative apprenticeship and its relationship to art&design; to question how different forms of labor are valued; to examine how (in)visible (un)productivity can be.
