Sally Wakelin – Studies in Creativity
Paintings, drawings, sculpture and writing
I found these great chairs – StretchOut – designed by Tim Miller who is Senior Lecturer in Industrial Design at Victoria University in New Zealand.
I have been reading about wet paper folding, now I am inspired to combine paper cutting and wet-folding and see what comes of it.
Just look at those shadows!
A while ago I had access to a laser cutter and made this piece from white cartridge paper, which is great for casting shadows and for photographing through.
My brother sent me this photograph of a little hand-painted ceramic dish our mother made maybe 50 years ago. She and our father both made several dishes in pottery and both signed them with their common monogrammed initials RW , so I’m not entirely sure whose this is but my gut reaction is that it was my mother. It is a perfect example of hand-decorated studio pottery from the ’50s.
Here are some more – the yellow bowl is one of my favourites.
Cast plaster hemispheres with small facets rotated in sequence.
The same cast hemispheres turned over in place, to rest on their facets.
Cast plaster “cakes” rotated in a set sequence around the four points of the compass.
A simple arrangement of hemispherical castings on a white background produces a rich variety of grey tones.
Later when the sun has moved around the shadows are much softer
