wealth

making wealth with paper

The wealth of offering, the wealth of giving, the wealth of receiving, the wealth of sharing; of rewarding, of healing, of remembering, of understanding and caring; … and we use the making with paper to create this wealth – not the paper wealth so often associated with the mainstream financial mode of operating, where paper is used as money currency for the circulation and exchange of goods and services, but a kind of wealth where ‘no money can buy’

making precisely

we also believe in making precisely, in the act of dexterity … hence we believe in creating exquisite objects instead of being consumers of mass manufactured good …. through tireless repetition, we fine tune, become ‘better’, become more precise ….and the ideas which inspired these objects also become more precise

making objects

hence we make objects …from thoughts to pencil, words to paper, from lines to blade, feelings to fold ….and we pour everything into our objects, large or small, in the hope that something extraordinary will open up

and we make with paper

it all starts with the story of floating seeds… with the pull of gravity and the push of the wind, they end their journey in the ground; with time they grow into saplings and then into trees  – from the woods, the fibres are havested, soaked and sieved, pressed and dried, cut and rolled  – since its invention, paper has written itself into the very fabric of our history and our lives….and we take this material steep in stories and histories to make, to celebrate, to complete the life giving cycle of nature which as always, is the touchstone of everything we endeavour

Sculpting with numbers; sculpting with paper

The rapidity of algorithms, the magic of numbers; they place marks and lines on paper, detailing which are to be cut, which to be folded; and with deft fingers and patient heart, we watch each cut supplementing a structure, each fold growing into a form.

Each object is a result of hours of experimentation: from the fine tuning of algorithms, to the adjustment of numbers; from the selection of textures, to the privileging of colours…. and a form is slowly sculptured, rising from an ocean of invisible notations and the flatness of a sheet of paper
