| The Final Project |
Our first assignment was to make a place for a leaf using as 12.5 x 12.5" piece of paper without using binding agents. My first idea was to make a tree with a twisted trunk where the leaf was inserted in the top. I then realized that it was much more interesting to place the paper on its side to emphasize the twisting of the paper. Once I did this, my place for a leaf resembled a piece of driftwood. That gave me the idea to use seaweed for my leaf and twist it with the paper, since it became naturally twisted after being soaked it water and cut in thin strips. The twisting motif continues up to the "branches" of the driftwood which resemble the seaweed itself. I used white trace paper since it was easy to twist, and because of its translucency.
