We are design graduate students at the University of Wisconsin - Stout. We have explored the history and culture of 4 out of the many discarded objects found in and around the walls of Harvey Hall during its recent renovation. The medicine bottle, the ruler, the film reel, and the soda can illuminate not only the history of the Art & Design program at UW-Stout, but the journey made by us as students as we connect these objects to the world.
