LITTLE PEOPLE


Promise this is the last time you'll be seeing these here.
I'm beginning to enjoy expressing my ideas in 3D lately.
In case you are curious to see a bit more,

head over my other work-in-progress blog.

which project has given you the most satisfaction?
every project has its own satisfaction, and reflection.
and we need both to move to the next step.

interview from sanaa

Experimenting based on a story of a fox and a crow.

Here is a collage I did some time ago and now,

I'm trying to re-create a scene from the story in 3 dimensional form.

I'm actually enjoying it!

PAPER ARCHITECTURE

PAPER LOG HOUSES- Bhuj, India, 2001
(temporary house after the earthquake)
Shigeru Ban is well known in architecture for his

 innovative work with paper&cardboard.
He values the low-cost ecological material because it can be recycled.
These buildings are reminiscent of traditional Japanese 

bamboo structures, but were made of cardboard tubes
with 4millimeter thick walls.


Marloes ten Bhömer's tyvek boots
Bhömer ignores the convetions of traditional shoemaking,

 thus challenging the familiar image of shoes/fashion accessories.
She loves working with unconventional materials.


Stefan Diez- Papier
A series of bags entirely made of synthetic paper (tyvek)
They are ultra lightweight, super strong and water-resistant

 but look like design mock-ups. 

After a long time of usage the bags are fully recyclable

 like ordinary shopping bags.

Time & growing older


To me, growing older has for a long time been associated

with a certain uneasiness.

I generally don't give a toss about space,

but I have a problem with time.
'Naive.Super' Erlend Loe

Well, me too.
