The Braille project - research stage

When I worked on the wine 'bottle project', I became really fascinated by the 'dots'. 

I wanted to examine more about the informative use for people without sight and the entertaining use for people with sight and bring those elements together with art. 

First I was looking for an interesting base to start this project with. Since I really like to draw my 'dream world', I wanted let those drawings serve as a base for this project. I want to translate my drawings into text in a poetic way..

This project is in it's research-phase. More results will be posted in the future.

(In this post I will share my findings).

A test with silkscreen printing on paper

It took a while before I found the right cutter.
Here are some results:




I have had a few questions left.
So I wrote a letter in braille.

This is going to be my year, although I am going to try my very best to make this my year, my year. It means I am going to graduate around May 2013. For this I am working on a big project and I want it to be stunning, mind blowing and more! To begin with, I want to take my Tetris project as a base for this new project. The elements that fascinated me are: - The pieces all together make something new (this can be changed every time). - The role that the owner has towards his own work. - The multifunctional pieces, they can be used for other purposes as well. With this in mind I started thinking about this new project.  Somewhere during the summer holiday I found this pictures of myself. I am around 1 year old. I put it in a frame, and I became more fascinated every time I looked at it. Me being so unaware of what is going to come up to me in live, having so much fun that very moment. I am happy. So I wanted to use this photo of ...

Tetris is your friend, or isn't it?

The next project I am about to start goes like this: I want to make a closet but not just a normal closet but one that doesn't stand on the ground but hangs on the wall, like a painting.  I do not make shelves in it as well, so the pieces stand just on top of each other.  With pieces I mean the 5 shapes that are used in the 'Tetris game'. I would like to call all the pieces together table ware. Although it are only 5 shapes and they are only good for little dishes, table ware is still the best specification .  The part where it involves my point of view as an artist is that this 'painting' can be reorganised by the owner, and I like the fact that because of all the pieces standing op top of each other you can't take what ever you want you have to find your way through.  The repetition of the shapes make the whole work together a very interesting piece of art to look at. I started by working out the shapes/components in paper to get an impr...
