Bodies in urban space

Choreographer, Willi Dorner, brought together a group of artists in New York to participate in his performance piece, Bodies in Urban Space. The artists go around to different parts of Manhattan to confine themselves together into architecturally specific shapes, conveying the idea of the restrictions we face physically, emotionally, and spiritually living in such a structure dominant space.

"O" is for ORIGAMI

Its amazing what it can be fold from one sheet of paper. Some people are shockingly good at it. You might think that following instruction must be easy but its not even a folding paper properly can turn out as a big problem. All you need for origami is a paper lots and lots of patience and be very precise at folding! First I had a lots of goes on folding a rose but i
t always ended up as a snowball. Anyway i didn't give up and folded a lotus flower. It came out quite nice ;o).

A-Z WORKSHOPS




This workshop was about hybrid font. We got one word n two different fonts or in the same font but regular, old or italic. By applying cut and paste method we created some initial idea for a new hybrid font. I was given bold Helvetica and Times. It was an interesting experiment. I quite like the effect on the first example and I had a Helvetica of a Times ;o)

'R'for RUBBING

Have u ever checked a sole pattern when you buy a new pair of shoes? I do it all the time but not many people do that. The pattern is sometimes so beautiful. So I decided to rub all shoe sole I have at home and put them in a note book bind with Japanese binding.
