Papercraft Research: Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann

        Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann are two artists who make distinct, colourful creations through means of a papercraft medium. Through their creations, they begin with basic shapes and overall simplification of them through faceted concepts. This is the foundation of their creations, using simple planes to create 3D objects with fascinating colour.
        In addition, Thomas and Zimmermann add depth of colours through means of 2D additions, as evident through the images included. This gives the overall object a more playful, bright aesthetic; in which what gives these objects their unique character.
        Personally, their creations are definitely something to look up towards. Their unique choice of colours, and even overall craft establishes a great level of artistic ability that many would inspire to acquire. In my project, I plan to experiment with smaller additions and details through expressive colour, and see where that will take my papercraft object to.

Object Remix (Assignment 2)

Image
 The culture of 'remixing/mashup' comprises of taking concepts/existing works and compiling them into a different idea, whether objective or surreal. A hand coming out of a mug. An unusual concept, given the wrist is inside the mug. A boat on a fork. Would you eat that? A skull train on ship steering wheels. Contrary to what ships usually are on: an ocean. Tentacles emerging from a TV. Demonstrates a horror genre. A giant cat beside a lighthouse. The contrast of scale illustrates the greater volume of the cat. Tentacles emerging from headphones. Another horror theme, who would put that on? A tank shooting an apple. One would expect a powerful tank to shoot shells. A penguin skating. They usually do not do that. Someone is getting fired. Crispy tentacle fries, not how anyone would expect them to be. Another size comparison; scale is contrasted heavily here with the goat and tower.

Mesh Mashup CONT. #2

    Further developing from the headphones in the previous assignment, these new headphones were given padding and vibrant colours. The colours were chosen specifically to convey a tri-complimentary palette, emphasizing the tentacles with a warm colour; in contrast to cooler colours. Meshes have been slightly refined and sectioned accordingly to create this object. Overall, a pair of appealing headphones with a rather surreal remix to them.
