Final projects...
With the exception of Motion Graphics, i am going to use this project as the starting point for both Python and Interface final projects.
i will be exploring how useful Python could be as a means to represent art work on screens intorporated into fashion garments. at the moment, i have no idea how successful or unsuccessful this will be. i don’t think Python is the ideal language to...

There’s something comforting in the cycle of Goldsmiths bringing me to Parsons. Textiles to Design and Technlogy, then design and technlogy to textiles.
the beginnings of my project are floating in the eather of two on going personal dialogues i’ve been enjoying for...
