Tactile

My housemate recently came home with this book, Tactile:


and what a lovely book it is! I remember wanting to get it, due to the enormous amount of pixelgarten work there is in it (as a long term favourites lister) and everything else within it is just as lovely.
One of the pieces which had people cut outs looked like a more contemporary version of my little film 'a dangerous memory' and i pretty much dig everything in this book.


Now i have an urge to create paper organs to spread accross rooms and cardboard scrabble letters.
It's wonderful to see how far paper can be stretched and molded and how such modern pieces can be created from a traditional material. I also like the element of 'craft' and the graphic looking pieces they have achieved, two things which don't often fuse together.
Maybe in my next piece of 2-d poster work, i could consider creating something physical and as surprising as these instead.
