— Paper Weather, No. 7

Project notes

Overview

A self-initiated series exploring weather as emotion. Every piece is cut by hand from layered coloured stock and lit from the side to cast real shadows.

Challenge

Translating something formless — weather — into a material with hard edges.

Approach

We wrote fictional forecasts first, then cut. Each layer of paper is a layer of the forecast: pressure, temperature, mood.

Process

Over four hundred hours of cutting, scanning and re-cutting. Nothing digital in the making, only in the documenting.

Outcome

Twelve original works and a printed folio.
