| DESIGN NAME: The Power of the Paperback PRIMARY FUNCTION: Paper Crafted Sculptures INSPIRATION: What is your all time favourite book? ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell was my first literature love affair because a little bit of politics is easily digested when set in a farmyard. I moved house a few months ago and spent most of that time waiting for the internet to be connected. This led me to rediscover a love for reading books. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Paper is a difficult medium to work with, I wanted to challenge myself with a passion project using paper craft to elevate my favourite stories into surreal and imaginative works of art. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: I wanted to depict the story inside the book using paper craft elements representing moments in the stories. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in August 2016 and finished in September 2016 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fine Arts and Art Installation Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Paper, books, tape, glue, scissors, fishing wire. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 300cm x 300cm, 300dpi,Canon EOS 5D Mark III TAGS: book, paper, papercraft, design, photography RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Paper is a very difficult medium to work with. The creation of these sculptures involves weeks worth of trial and error; from concept development, researching the chosen object and building various rough templates until the desired look is achieved. CHALLENGE: This project presented many challenges due to the nature of paper-craft. I had to create intricate, 3-D paper models that were either free-standing or could be hoisted into place but wherever possible I wanted the photos to be re-touched as little as possible. The ideas were key for each piece. I had to develop a concept that captured the ideology of each book I was representing.
