Workshop 1 with Richard Sweeney/ experimenting with A5 paper

Focusing on different ways to make repetitive patterns with just A5 paper. We were allowed to cut out paper, but not add or glue paper together. We Needed to find other ways to combine paper together.

Again, Looking at curves, but not only from the exterior but also from the interior as shown here. The pieces developed here looks like a rib cage but in a slightly different way. I quite like the effect i have created because of the different levels of how the paper have been cut.

Here i was looking at what kind of effect i would get if i was to make a swirl in the curve and making it shorter every time i make a slit.

Workshop 1 with Richard Sweeney/ experimenting with A5 paper

experimenting with paper. Using techniques such as: slits, folds, half-cut

More quick experiments

Slits are made in between the paper, and then joined together.

Folded in half (horizontal) then folded again (vertical). Shows an overlapping effect.

quick curved paper design.

paper designs 5

As cliche as it sounds, i was inspired by my curtains. I folded the paper several times to create this effect.

paper designs 4

My designs: Decided to cut a few lines in between a box and folding each corner to see what effect i got...and this is how it turned out. Looks like a shell to be honest.
bottom: Again work from Sweeney which has inspired me. Use of curves is excellent.

Top three: Mt designs are focusing on repition as well as shape. Shape which i have used is triangle.
Technique used: forming slits in centre of triangle, next sliding triangle in slits.

last to bottom: Sweeney design which has got me to think about shape within my work.
2nd last to bottom: Works from the Bauhaus (Herbert Bayer) A peice which focuses on shapes.

More paper designs. i was inspired by this design on the left, found on the net, which features strips of paper folded to make a unique pattern.

I came up with my own idea by taking strips and creating a circular design.

paper designs 1

Few designs inspired by "jay-z on to the next one" track, which features wires moving in different directions.

Instead of using tape or glue to stick things, i came with an alternative by making slits on the paper and slotting in the paper. :)

some PAPER art

bit of work with hard paper. working with -> -> ARROWS
sense of perspective.size. curves. straight lines.

opening of the new grafiks blog! Enjoy.

Well its all about paper art!
Coming across a random piece from the net which i very much like and works from Richard Sweeney which has also inspired me.
