On Wednesday August 23rd a folder was shared by Deserae Tailfeathers and Christine Clark in Canada. It contained a 3D scan of a beaded hat made by Deserae Tailfeathers. The Beaded Hat was being worn Deserae's mother, Sharon. Collaborations between Ian and Christine had formed on the Mootookakio’ssin project which created a path to reconnect Blackfoot knowledge and Blackfoot identity with Blackfoot objects held in UK Museums. In this instance Ian rescaled, hollowed and sliced the scan into 80 printable sections and printed the parts between August 25th and September 3rd 2023 before 'stitch-welding' them together.
