(Re)fuse is an assemblage of discarded artifacts, material unravelings, and studies created through impulse and experimentation. In response to my object gatherings in and around the town of Banff, Alberta (Treaty 7 territory), I created a series of decolonial design objects turning refuse into makeshift matter while questioning their perceived “function” or intended “use”. Expressed through rawness and roughness, my intent was to celebrate the inherent qualities of common products stripped of intended purpose. Through collecting, assembling, reconstructing, manipulating, and reinterpreting, these sculptural objects reflect a time and place and examine the enigmatic potential of everyday objects and materials. Ultimately, (Re)fuse is a personal study and exercise into critically questioning and redefining my role as a product designer while shedding light onto the playful connections and surprising entanglements I discovered during my time as an artist-in-residence at Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada.
