Collecting forms: Form Study
Repeating a theme across distinct forms lets geta become a series of sculptural studies rather than a group of footwear.
What to observe
Photograph and measure one-tooth, tall, two-tooth, and low forms under shared conditions, and record the intent behind each variation.
Thinking as a collection
A small numbered series can become a clear collecting unit across form, material, motif, and year.
