Material Memory Studio — Field Research
Material Trips
Field research as methodology — entering cities not as a tourist but as a material researcher. Each trip maps where to find pigments, dyes, craft materials, and maker communities.
Each entry documents venues visited, materials encountered, objects collected, and notes for anyone doing their own material research in that city.
