REGROUP / REFOCUS


Whiteboards are a wonderful, magical thing... After a couple of days of banging my head against the proverbial wall, I realised that I am the sort of designer who craves boundaries of sorts. But since my concept allows me to design almost anything - pieces inspired by barbed wire to optical illusions to manure - I took to the white board! After going through all my initial research over and over, I jotted down my favourite reoccurring and harmonious themes - and now I'm excited about designing again, huzzah!

I perused through my original images, and have selected a few to keep the mood going:

And if you're looking for beautiful/modern lullabies, you can't get any better than Angus and Julia Stone.

How do you contemplate a mandarine?

Does the strong citrus SCENT awaken your memory? Or is it the natural juice you TASTE when you take the first bite? Do you SEE a spherical orange shape in your mind’s eye? Do you remember the gentle SOUND of peeling skin from flesh, piece from piece? Or is it the porous skin, moist and leathery to TOUCH?
