Saturday, the 18th of June, we had ‘open studios’. Curious Leipziger’s came into the work-spaces to see our projects. Luckily most spoke some English as I was alone. From there to the festival centre down the road for music, food and dancing (pictured), and from there I got the train to start my journey back to the U.K.
Goodbye Grünau for now.
As a materials-led artist and maker working primarily with found materials, I forage, gather and reuse everything from cardboard to pallets and wooden fruit boxes. I am driven by a desire to celebrate the overlooked, for instance printing the utilitarian symbols I collect from packaging, onto the other materials on which they are commonly printed. My work combines elements of design, paper engineering, fine art and construction, and is made available through limited editions, as well as informal interventions in the urban environment.
