For this week's activity, I chose to tell a story of one of the residents of Arcosanti, Jona a designer, welder, and co-owner of Cast+Crew.
We met at a dinner that we were invited to and ended up next to Jona,and by the end of the evening, after everyone was long gone we were left chatting about living life as a creative, her experience living at Arcosanti, and everything in between and made plans to meet the next day and ended up spending a few hours in the apartment that she remodeled (welding and pouring the concrete countertops, kitchen table, and chairs) and time in the workshop, where we were able to get a glimpse of her creative process.
In the time that I spent with her, her passion and dedication shone through along with her grace in occupying a world that is still very male-dominated.
This week has also made me think more about my work last module, and though I was not overly excited about what I produced for my project, I have come to realise that there are quite a few elements that can be used across genres. As Dust + Grit, we contributed to Farm + Land a modern outdoor lifestyle online magazine.
