The Eighteenth Day of Ingenuity in Materiality

Innovation in Materiality Maria L. Berg 2023

Today I’m trying to capture ingenuity in materiality and materiality in ingenuity. Materiality, though as an abstract noun it means: of substantial import; of much consequence; important; pertinent or essential; it made me think of physical materials, especially fabric. So today’s images were an exercise in cleverness or skillfulness of conception or design with material and other materials.

Inspired by the post KaleidoSaturday at KarenGadient.com. I tried out kaleidoscope maker at pho.to with some of today’s images and got some really fun results.

2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 18

Today’s prompt is a title prompt: (blank) Cycle.

Innovation Cycle

preparation formulates purple plastic exploration
exploration generates oval fiber incubation
incubation conceives leather scarab insight
insight composes a wool hexagon prototype
prototype originates archetypal cookie sheet experimentation
experimentation procreates vital satin planning
planning shapes tidal thrust execution
execution pulverizes stone hagfish reflection
reflection transmogrifies evaluation
which leads to orbit trip preparation

Happy Reading and Writing!
