Art Walk, November 6 - Form Function by Jason Morris

Join us Friday night as we feature two screenings of Jason Morris's short film "Form Function." Jason is Associate Professor of Industrial Design at Western Washington University. His film follows 12 WWU students through a design process from start to finish, with fascinating results.

In Jason's words:

This short film shows a design process that begins with abstract form creation and ends with unique and fantastic designs of furniture, vehicles and spaces. Twelve selected projects are exhibited from the industrial design students at Western Washington University from March 2009. It is highly visual and dreamlike, with no dialogue and an ambient soundtrack by Moby. (9 minutes running time)

Screenings will be at 8 and 8:30 pm. Jason will be on hand to answer questions about the project. We'd love to see you!
