entry tunnel

Earlier this Spring I was helping out on a restaurant project called Fat Dragon at work (Bricault Design).  The entry tunnel was my bit:

found infrastructure

taste/touch packets

I made a series of taste/touch packets waaaaay back many years ago.  I found some of them the other day in a big brown envelope.  I don't make stuff like this anymore but some of the ideas are still there, like inside/outside,  the 'in-between',  and the senses.    Also I still like sewing.

It's still early days

on this viaduct curtain collaboration.

tree plaque

I just noticed this tree plaque near the Buchanan building (UBC) the other day - love it!

stretch sketch

Sometimes i like having to wait somewhere because it gives me free sketch time.

film curtain progress

ludo in soho

These ludo pieces were made at 20:1 scale.

I took them to Soho Square for a few hours on a pleasant summer afternoon.

I used a disposable camera to take these photos! I have just made them digital for the first time.

curtain 1

I was asked to help make a very big curtain for a party a few years ago. And by 'a few' I actually mean six. (Wow, so much has happened since then.)

Made in partnership with Phillipe Lew and Space Agency.

bulgarian fishing knot

The other day when I was speaking with a friend we briefly got on the topic of rope and knots. Now I'm wondering which I am more drawn to, the rope or the knots. But I guess it's kind of both the same.

two images from the vault

One is a sketch:

Made while at a museum. The animal is called a 'Lesser Malay Chevrotain'.

And the other one is an oil painting I made for my Aunt Carol.

Bibliography Categories

Tidied up my desk the other day. The last few months of 2011 were kind of insane.

In the process of clearing I also took down some stuff that had been taped to the wall above my desk for about four months. These papers were mostly lists I have been using for reference and reminders, but also some ideas for other projects, and a few names of songs, etc.

One of the things on the wall is the Bibliography I had been using for The Haptic City studio. It is divided into three categories:

Mapping/Duration/Pedestrian Experience

Place/Phenomenology/Urban Play

Materials/Interconnections/City and People

sewing project

Sewing is a good way to think. There's something about just putting the hands to work and going for it.

This little wallet was made using a sample of fabric that we had lying around in the office - it's an exterior grade upholstery material.

goodtimes poster

The students in my class made these posters for the 'goodtimes' event our studio hosted this evening.
