A artist/designer from the Slash exhibition in New York. I chose to look at his work purely because of the simplicity in colour and form in some of his pieces, although the use of thread in his work proves to be more complex. He builds symmetrical shapes from cardboard/paper glued together on the same edge to create a 3D structure. The shapes of the pieces resemble trees and plants, having an organic element but also a conflicting, controlled, symmetrical structure that makes them really beautiful. Although all these elements were of some sort of influence on me, it was particularly the wound thread that was my biggest interest. The way the thread also forms an intricate pattern once viewed closer. Almost like its holding all the pieces together, and bounding the content. The shadows that arise within the structures are also an aspect I may consider in some of my experimental work, and final designs.
