Papercraft Finale - Steam Shovel Tin Toy

  STEAM SHOVEL PAPERCRAFT Materials : Metallic dark red and silver scrapbooking papers Burgundy Prismacolor Pencil Crayon Laser Cutting Notes: For paper cutting projects remember to turn off the fan! A couple small components got blown around during cutting and sliced in half (still usable). Ran into a few spots where the scrapbook paper I chose had sales text printed on it, which ended up on the visible sides of the model components. Partly a formatting thing and partly a lesson in being more communicative about my needs with the technician.  We tested cuts on a spare piece of paper and adjusted the score lines to be 20% deeper Notes During Assemblage: Ran into   spots where I should have tested using two layers of paper more and the outer layers started to crack.  Even though my goal for this model was a roughly realistic 1:1 replica of the tin toy it was based on,  I wish I had increased the size more in the end. Especially for fiddly components like the whee...

Pulp Fiction: Metamorphosis of the Mundane by Cybéle Young

  Pulp Fiction:  Metamorphosis of the Mundane by Cybéle Young ‘These manifest as miniature theatres – one act plays, where shifts of scale and perception occur. Despite the absence of the human form there is an implied presence, where the viewer can project themselves into another world.’ Cybéle Young Cybéle Young is a Toronto-based sculptor who has been crafting paper objects for over 25 years. Her practice is focussed on crafting miniature household items that morph over a sequence of 4-5 iterations into fantastic creatures; by incorporating these evolutions she aims to present an animation, or a single act narrative, that engages the viewer in a kinetic moment of magic. She studied sculpture and print making at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and has mastered techniques drawn from Japanese paper craft, the traditional arts of "Shifu" (winding paper threads), and applying textures with copperplate etching tools.       In this CBC interview from 202...

Transmogrification

Image
Remix Culture is an approach to object theory whose proponents value the ability to repurpose or reuse existing assets to further material expression. It is an argument against the blunt instrument of copyright ownership, which can be seen to limit or prevent reinterpretation of existing creations. From an artistic perspective, Remix Culture serves to interrupt societal scripts which make certain functional objects psychologically "invisible," or so naturalized in daily life that they disappear into routine procedures. Through the process of remixing, or combining two or more objects, the artist aims to disrupt those scripts and, in doing so, fundamentally change the inherent meaning of one or both items. In this series of 10 3D sketches, I am exploring what concepts can be explored through the juxtaposition of unexpected pairings of pre-existing 3D assets.  Item 1: "Nurture v. Nature" "Feed me..." The last vestiges of naturalism which dot your home, filli...
