Wgeary Q2
This Quarter, I found ways to bridge art and design. I painted a pantone ceiling tile (and plan to make more) which was an incredibly cool way to link design to painting and colors.(Unfortunatly I lost all the photos of it, I hope you can remember it) I beefed up my visual art portfolio substantially by going out and doing some urban photography with my new 35mm lense. (here's a link to my flickr) In an attempt to work more in 3D, I’m working on a set of colorful building blocks and a laser cut scarf of the philly skyline. The posters of the WPA era are some of my highest held inspirations, I appropriated two Montana travel posters featuring beautiful mountain scapes. I turned the scaled into wallpapers for both computers and iphones.
Two WPA desktop wallpapers
An incredibly detailed laser cut pamphlet about european debt that I designed and fabricated.
Early drafts of Philadelphia skyline/bauhaus inspired building blocks. For the Public Workshop Kickstarter I've been doing lots and lots of research about the toys and especially the building blocks of 1900s. I've read "Century of the Child" a book from MoMA about the toys, playgrounds, kids of the 1900s. It focuses on what was going on in the world (like WWII) and how it affected the mindsets of the people and how it affected the toys and children. Below are images of "Century of The Child" and some of the blocks from the book.
