In Plain Sight explores the embodiment of “Blending” as a naturally occurring algorithm defined by Aranda and Lasche as being one of repetition, camouflage, and negotiation.

This project was an exercise in many technical skills and collaborative skill sharing between multiple disciplines. I learned to make chainmail (can you believe)
