Meet Ata,

I chose his colors as Red, Orange and Yellow, and his fabrics will be felt, cashmere, and wool. His object was a thermal jumper, and he talked about how he makes music on the streets, and if there wasnt the jumper to keep him warm, than he couldnt do music on the streets.so I wanted fabrics that would keep us warm from cold.

Meet Nicola,

Ok, so Nicola's object was a wheelchair. So I thought about movement, movement in time and objects that move around all the time in constant move (im repeating myself way too much, and way too much i am making spelling mistakes) but I know YOU dont mind.

And I am also thinking of taking photos that will be relating to movement, or moving objects as wheels as such, and have an accidental feel to show the movement.

We LOOOVE your face..

I wanted to also make Hannah's portrait, because she's got a very characteristic face, and a very energetic personality. So I am thinking of combinging the "red ball" with the portrait somehow, the ball being very energetic as a part of her character almost, and the still portrait.

Hannah

Lets get back to Hannah, and her object "red ball" I started reading Naive Super. Its an amazing book, by a 25 year old Norwegian writer. Here are some quotes from the book

"I sit there pondering which objects will fulfil my desires. It could be several. But I just want one thing. Suddenly it is clear to me that what I seek is a ball. A ball, plain and simple. I feel a sting of eagerness" " When it gets dark I'm going to go down into the courtyard and throw the ball against a wall. I look forward to that." The main character of the book chooses an object for several reasons, to get him active, to make him forget about time.. This character of the book is an insperation to Hannah, There are 2 photographs and 1 stitched fabric.

I have no idea why my account was disabled for some time, but I'm back, I had decided to do this today.. Instead of doing my blog ofcourse I was looking at mail-art sites, and found couple of really cool projects that would like to participate.
I will post some of the outcomes later on..

I cannot believe I had just discovered Delicious Design League. These posters are amazingly edgy, however they work perfectlly well. From Sonic Youth to Animal Collective, Delicious Design had been there, screen-printed them all themselves. Wooooooow! I'm going to work better on the posters tonight..

Give and take..

"The Home Duvet lets you sleep under a cardboard box so a homeless person doesn't have to!"

Great project, as "30% of the gross profits go to Centrepoint, the UK charity for homeless young people aged 16-25 (charity number 292411)" and the printing has been done really well!
