Napkin story
"I was invited to take part in an exhibition with a group of more than 40 selected artists, designers, illustrators and typographers working in the UK. All were sent generic white paper napkins to doodle, draw or explore on. [...]When I pick up a paper napkin in a restaurant or cafe I inevitably end up playing with it, folding, scoring, rolling and creasing or scrunching so I decided to look at the napkin as a material for construction and explore it's structural potential as a 3D object, as opposed to a 2D suface or canvas.
I wanted to emphasise the folds and creases you get in napkins, which even though clean and linear, also have a soft edged quality.
The final form was realised as a clock, but the structure could also have been applied to an architectural, fashion and textiles, furniture or jewellery context."
