Art and Us

Art and Us is a book that presents selected works from the collection of an art foundation. The main part shows only images of the works, while a separate small booklet, held in a pocket at the back, describes each work by page number. Every page carries original hand drawn textures, so the book recalls an artist sketchbook. The soft cover is made of transparent PVC with silk-screen printing, and kettle stitching leaves the binding visible. Three papers are used, including translucent sheets and rough sheets for exhibition documentation.

AURUM genuine gold leaves

Aurum is a gift box designed for edible gold leaf. The packaging presents a raw material as a premium retail product. The box structure refers to jewelry packaging. An anodized golden metal plate with the engraved brand name seals the box and works as a magnetic lock. Textured paper, gold foil stamping and spot UV form the outer surface. A ribbon in the top layer holds a bespoke tweezer, so the very light gold leaf can be picked up easily. A translucent sheet protects the gold leaf below. The box measures 88 by 90 by 65 millimeters.

Eons

Eons is a black and white photography series that explores rock and stone textures. The images show a sandstone cliff found during a hike, where the rock has been shaped by the elements over a very long period. Each composition was framed closely so that the rock faces read as abstract works of art. Natural light was used, and strong contrasts of light and shadow replace the yellow tone of the stone. The series is intended for interior decoration and branding, and the prints can be produced in various sizes and finishes.

Eggshell Montage

Eggshell Montage is an animated video that brings together a series of looping motion artworks. Each scene is built around ambience and a sense of flowing movement, similar to running water in a river. The looping motion is smooth and continuous, and it creates a calm atmosphere for the viewer. Most shots are very wide, and the objects are small and distant, so the audience can feel placed inside the scene. The artworks were illustrated in Photoshop on a tablet and animated in After Effects. Projection on a wall increases the impact of the viewing experience.
