This page will be focusing on the process of the rules and the way they will be communicated. As I have mentioned in artists books and publications page, I have been inspired to present my rules in a way that directly and clearly communicate to the viewer what they mean. Below I have shown aContinue reading “GAMES HAVE RULES & YOU NEED TO KNOW THEM”

To make the chess pieces, I have decided to 3D print them. Luckily I had help – my partner showed me how to use the software and explained how the printing works. So first thing’s first – I had to model the pieces using the softwares Mesh mixer, sketchup and 3D builder. Once I wasContinue reading “WELL… WE NEED PIECES TO PLAY”

To make sure the rules to my game really worked, before printing out the pieces I needed for the game, I decided to have a trial run. So I called my sister, and over FaceTime, we decided to test out the game. I had previously made the grid and sketched out the pieces in Procreate.Continue reading “A TRIAL RUN…”

Creating a repeated square pattern made from tiles – resembling a chess board is the goal for this bedside table – eventually there will be pieces and a rule book to play on the surface of this table.

In surrealism, we often see that objects come to life to defy the expectations of the everyday life. I wanted toContinue reading “INSPO FOR FURNITURE”

I originally started to look at designing the t-shirts in a way that didn’t make sense. For example I wanted to use them as recipe books or as a notebook. However as I have created some more objects to go into my room, I wanted to make designs focussing on the aesthetic whilst also lookingContinue reading “T-SHIRT DESIGNS”

Deterring anything that could make sense. For my bedroom I want to create designs and print them onto t-shirts. The idea came to me when I saw a T-shirt with a printed recipe for how to make pasta. I wanted to alter the way we use everyday objects by giving them another narrative. So IContinue reading “WHAT IS A T-SHIRT NOT USED FOR?”

Inspired by Dalí’s melted clocks. A lot of us are familiar with Dalí’s melted clocks within his paintings, and I wanted to create an object inspired by them. The famous melting clocks represent the omnipresence of time, and identify its mastery over human beings. It is said that his inspiration for the soft watch cameContinue reading “MY VASE MELTED…”
