So I've been keeping myself busy making various different styles of books (with my esteemed Graphical partner K. Ijola) and the odd sock monkey here and there, sequins have played a huge part in my summer and I have developed an unhealthy obsession with wax.
But this piece of design has grounded me a little more. I came across this in the same magazine I found the people from my last entry (Ben&Julia), and before I could even begin to understand what was going on in the pictures I was excited that they were using such simple materials as wood and cardboard-very organic.
This particular project focuses on type and the two founders of "Strange Attractors" talk about setting up their exhibition in the article:
"All the work was done standing up, in a verticle position and live in front of visitors to the museum.
Our objective was to merge contemporary technology with traditional craftsmanship while representing the diverse multicultural and architectural city of Rotterdam".
I like their enthusiasm, and obviously making the entire piece in front of the public's very eyes is hands on enough for me!
