Wow, so now I am featuring in a book!

It was an idea of my friend Prab to document process of making and exhibition preparations before the opening night. He has taken the time to visit each of the ten girls (members of tenmoregirls artist collective) and document through photography their making process in their own studio. The result of this project is this beautiful photo documentary book full of amazing photographs capturing the real scene behind pieces of jewellery and objects exhibited in Glory Box, an annual exhibition by tenmoregirls.

When my friend Prab approach me that he would like to make a documentary about tenmoregirls , their design process and creations I was thrilled!

Prab dedicated to each girl one day to get to know her, her concept and photograph her at her studio while working prior to the opening of Glory Box. Interesting concept, I thought.

It was very exciting experience to be photographed while working. I nearly forgot what I was working on as I kept talking to Prab about totally unrelated topics which made me to relax completely.

Below are some photos of me that Prab took.  I hope you like them as much as I do .

Thank you to all who made it to an opening of Glory Box by tenmoergirls. It was really nice to see you and chat with you. I hope you like our work and that you will come next year again.

Here are some pictures from opening night and artist talk on Saturday 1^st September.

Continuing researching what is what is not possible to achieve with plywood. By now I came across number of very interesting work by designers from all over the world. It almost seems that plywood can be used for anything depending on which kind and grade I use.

This week I focused my experimentation on important details like interlocking and finish of edges of ply, lower and quality grades of plywood, different organic shapes and scale.

Outcome of this experimentation is that lower grades of plywood are really hard to form in my home workshop/kitchen. On the other hand good quality 3mm (5 ply) plywood was supper easy to manipulate in to bends that I wanted.

I also tested look and function of copper insert on edges of one of the objects.  Result is that it allows me to manipulate plywood even easier.

I hope you got your copy of MX newspaper on 27^th August or Inner West Courier on 28^th August…..
