Exercise 2.2  Paper manipulation gallery

Looking back on my previous work I found out there are certain manipulation techniques that I can use for my ”take 2” assignment.

Firstly , I’ve gathered paper in different forms as well as pins and a cone of yarn.

Yarn always inspire me!
sand paper
a paper bag
different gauge nails
a cereal box
  • vertical lines and scallops in the edge
  • squares on a A4 paper halfed
diamonds and waves
weaving using tissue paper 
weaving using A4 paper
crumbling using A4 paper
crumpling using a soft tissue
Curly fringing :I’ve tried to create a sort of cable using the fringing of the paper but it didn’t work out because of the nature of the paper(too stiff)
Using a hole puncher, I’ve created a pattern by folding the paper
wrapping paper being cut in an asymmetrical pattern
Hole pattern created after folding a wrapping paper
cereal box paper rolled ,crumpled and hole punched using a pin
I’ve used nails of different gauge to create holes in a rectangle shape on either side of a sand paper: Top left , fine gauge, bottom right the coarser one.
I’ve used this sanding cork block as a template under the paper
when I’ve seen it finished with the nails and I took a picture of my paper I thought it was to blunt; I’ve decided to do a bit of mark making drawing on it.

Going through the same exercise again and using papers of different quality and texture I can say it was a pleasant surprise to me and I really enjoyed the process. Having more materials and trying to marry them was quite challenging and exciting the same time.
