Robots and Quilts, Life and Art...
bits and pieces put together to present a semblance of a whole.

By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics.
Haraway, A Manifesto for Cyborgs,
Routledge, 1990

Central to any creative process, materials provide a common stage on which art and design can communicate, flaunt their unique attributes and at the same time express similarities. Materials contribute to an object's meaning and in many cases are integral to its structural, functional, and narrative identity.
