While researching and geometric paper folding project for my building and design students, I found this wonderful artist, Peter Callesen. He does the most unbelievable paper cuts. Each one is made using and single sheet of paper. I use blocks and Legos and other items for the class (middle school), but I love showing them how to create in three dimensions with simple items, such as paper. The images speak for themselves, more here.
Still in the process of my new studio design, it is crazy trying to work with things packed away in two or three locations. Now it is finally starting to take shape and I am unpacking and putting things away. It is an interesting part for the future of the work spaces. The trick is to make it functional, but I still need it to look and feel a certain way. I have some new ideas on lighting, since my back area has no natural light, so important. I do have a large work table area, now which is great, it is always a pain to have to put one thing away to make room for another. I really like to pull out many different fabrics while I am working. Last year I found these photos via Decor8 and they still offer an inspiration for my studio planning. The old and new, the color it all just works together. This is the Urban Outfitters Corporate Campus. You can see more photo here.
Now I am off to unpacking and sorting.
