EMMA WHITE

Emma White's everyday objects require a double take - formed carefully from polymer clay, she replicates everyday forms to a fine level of detail.

I love the way she is able to draw attention to the function of the objects she reproduces, and question the idea of the 'real'.

Mapping Dreams Across the World

When I was in Stockholm at the end of last year, I was lucky enough to stumble upon an artwork by Eva Frapiccini

Set up outside the Arkitekturmuseet, the artist invited passers-by to take their time to share their dream from the night before or a dream with particularly striking imagery, inside her inflatable room with a tape recorder.







She travels the world with her inflatable structure in a suitcase, collecting an archive of dreams in many different languages from people across the world. 

These dreams will be preserved and reopened in 10 years time, analysed by professionals and sent back to their owner - a study on the collective unconscious, and Jung’s idea of shared archetypes across the world. 

 More information on Dreams’ Time Capsule here and here.

RGB Wallpaper by Carnovsky

RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”.
RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. 'Carnovsky's RGB is an ongoing project that experiments with the interaction between printed and light colours. The resulting images are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter's colors are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers.'
