shadows to blinds...

Now I'm making linen blinds with shadow casters attached behind. Trying to sort out the sustainability of linen...so far I think it's pretty good...apart from the bleaching...but I want it white! Thinking thinking.

miss pokeno


mmm chairs with stuffed animals. indoors mixed with outdoors. comfort mixed with the discomfort of death. delicious contrast.

Peachy


I saw this lamp a while ago but never mentioned it...it's simple but clever and sweetly stylish :) it's a plain blue lamp with stripes for sea levels in day and when it is switched on but when you switch it off phosphorecent sea creatures glow in the dark as a night light for children :)

Recycled paper lasercut lampshades. Sort of like something I might have done which makes me feel a little unoriginal! :) my stuff is more surreal and illustrative and less 3 dimensional but really similar...lets hope this inspires me to innovate :)

Amy Kligman





Amy Kligman does these beautiful paintings. I love the simplicity and child like dreaminess :) And they kind of remind me of my Gran's drawings.

Candle Rotator

Little film of my candle rotating shadow experiment...what a lot of fiddling and fire hazard...next stop: clockwork?

playing with my window



Experimentation with shadows....cut paper and plastic attached to my window casting shadow on the curtain. It's not final design work but it's lovely because it keeps surprising me...I only get the sun late afternoon so I'll be working and suddenly Bam! I'll realise I'm surrounded by shadow of light!
