SUMMARY:Champaign Urbana Community Fab Lab
DESCRIPTION:The CU Community Fab Lab will be displaying the work of artist Samantha J. Jones as well as maker activities throughout the Fab Lab. Using trays\, cookware\, and other everyday items\, Samantha J. Jones creates sculptural works that feel part kitchen\, part workshop\, part stage set. Built from fabricated materials and hand assembly\, the pieces explore care\, labor\, and growing up through humor and bright\, familiar forms. The work encourages viewers to slow down and reconsider the small\, often overlooked rituals of home and daily life. In addition\, throughout the Fab Lab there will be making activities that everyone is welcome to join in on! Some of the activities will consist of collage\, laser etching\, sublimation printing\, printmaking\, and sticker cutting. \nSamantha J. Jones is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture\, performance\, and digital fabrication. Her work explores girlhood\, labor\, and identity through installations\, objects\, and participatory environments that blur the line between store\, stage\, and studio. Based in Urbana\, Illinois\, she is an MFA candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign and works with the Champaign-Urbana Community Fab Lab leading hands-on workshops and community fabrication projects. \nSunday April 12 from 1pm to 5pm
