the [white paper] concept.
I’ve been pondering about the idea that if we are left with a nice piece of blank white paper in front of us, the likely chances are that we’ll start doing ’something’ to it. Now this could be folding it – origami if we are keen, tearing it, using it as an ‘emergency’ tissue or something to wrap-up our gum, or maybe for some of us – to eat?… But I believe that more likely we’d be leaving some kind of ‘mark’ on it (assuming we have the right materials in hand) using pen, pencil, chalk, paint, or more easily – our dirty fingerprints.
What I find most interesting is the variety and randomness of ‘doodles’ that people do on spare bits of paper lying around in cafes, lecture rooms, mm… a receipt on a floor, toilet paper, magazines in doctor waiting rooms, etc. Now this is only natural since we always have things to think about, and it’s not surprising that we choose to draw out some of our thoughts down on solid paper. Maybe it’s something we’d like others to know? to share our problems? to advocate something or to promote? (think graffiti art) mm… to ‘express’ in general, like a feeling or an emotion! This is more prominent in the small paper pads that you’d find in art shops – now those are covered with allsorts of scribbles (and it’s funny that you’ll always find a penis drawn in there somewhere). I believe that as humans, we all have the natural tendency to express with the most simplest form besides talking or using body language – and this is to draw! To surrender to the most primitive form of expression that we’ve learnt as kids since kindergarten! The childishness that we already know, and that we do not object to use to most efficiently and easily express ourselves.
Now, as an experiment (more…)
McQueen + Samsonite
I saw this range at Selfridges quite a while back and it immediately caught my eye! The idea of a protective outer case in the shape of a human’s rib cage, and the hardness of a crocodile’s skin – genius!
The Hero Piece is a unique range designed for Samsonite by Alexander McQueen. The rib cage is my personal favourite which comes in: white, black and brown colour. Check them out at: http://www.samsoniteblacklabel.com/product-view.samsonite?pID=15335428
Indigo Child 2008 @ times square, causeway bay (HK)
Carrie Chau (Wun Ying) is an illustration artist based in Hong Kong. One of my recent inspirations, her characters are instantly appealing in their oddly- distorted shapes. The first time I saw her art was at Google where one of her coloured pieces (A Non-Stop Big Rope Game) was featured as a custom banner for iGoogle. Her latest art exhibition (indigo child, 20 Nov – 31 Dec 2008) is something I wish I could see, although I don’t think I’d be able to go to Hong Kong this Christmas, I am happy to see some photos my friend took while she was there.
