paper

A dinosaur transposed onto a fine ticket, a fine ticket transposed onto a dinosaur. Drawn using a bartenders biro which was the best pen I've ever used.

Thinking about the day where there is no need for paper anymore, makes me think of how we used to use it so much.

I’ve decided to write my estranged sister a letter, because I miss her. I don’t know if we’ll ever reconnect, but I can live with knowing I’ve tried to let her know that I’d like to in the best possible medium I could express.

A collection of items that reflect the long history of the Symington Building where corsets and bodices were made for generations. I wanted to create a collection of original items to give authenticity and a sense of place to the artwork. There are two genuine items made of paper in the design : the bobbin-shaped card which holds darning thread, and the splayed buttons box. This red 'Dainite' box used to contain lots of cream rubber buttons, (also seen within this collage). Interestingly, the buttons, which were made only a 'stone's throw' from the factory, we're also used to finish the world-famous Liberty Bodice! I was delighted to find this box for sale online. The artwork, once framed, will be in a group exhibition in Market Harborough in the New Year. The venue of the gallery is very appropriate. It's in The Symington Building, which is what the repurposed factory is now called.

I've spent the last few weeks working on-and-off on a 3D animation designed to look like a 1980's cartoon that's just trying to sell cheap plastic toys.
