Morris the reversible fish
World Maker Faire 2017
MAKER
Rachel Ciavarella
Morris started as a school project, her fantastic form was inspired by the real fish that inhabit our Earth. I wanted to make an object that showcased the unique and often overlooked sense of touch. Morris offers a new and playful way to experience everyday materials! After I first posted Morris online it was quickly picked up and featured by several blogs. As Morris' picture was passed around the internet, I received lots of emails from people wanting a Morris of their own. In order to make Morris accessible to more people, I ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund the first production run. Morris was successfully funded 184% on Kickstarter with over 800 backers in December 2016!
Morris is an interactive stuffed animal you can turn inside out to see its guts!
