Semester 1 home project
These are forty-some rubbings of objects made in and around my house. Like a photograph, a rubbing captures information about an object on a two-dimensional surface. With this project I thought about the physicality of objects and our relationships to the physical world. People have been making rubbings since the caveman days. For me this project was nostalgic of early-elementary school rubbings I made with crayons.
