Adams

Madeline Adams on her work:
'In the natural world, I am drawn to moments of repetition: a grid of windows on a building or the shadows made from leaves on a tree, the line made by traffic lights down a dark road, the groupings of pastries in a bakery window, the whispers of conversations in a crowded room, or the bass drum in a symphony. The objects being observed become the focal point of the frenetic world surrounding it. My work attempts to address these dialogues and spaces between the relationships and the idiosyncrasies of individual details. '

Forsyth

Thomas Forsyth designs objects that you can interact with and also play.

Drawing Tops"A spinning-top, that uses a pen as the spindle, represents many of the core ideas behind my
current work. it is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property. simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced. I am able to draw, but I am not particularly talented at it and yet found that, through the interaction with these objects, I have created drawings that I am more proud of than any I have done before."


Chess?
"This is my mischievous challenge on the rigidly structured squares of the chessboard. I have introduced new components to the board, some of which may only emerge during play. This encourages players to communicate and have creative input rather than simply follow pre-determined rules. You can play spontaneously, or those who want a more strategic game can negotiate rules before the game commences. This all means that players don’t need to know how to play chess in order to participate."

Handscapes

I saw these and I thought they were awesome. I'm obsessed with rings and I would love to have this for myself. Handscapes are individual rings that depending on the order and position of the rings different landscapes are created. the rings come in preset arrangements or the user can pick their favourite three icon s and make their own personal hand scape.

I forgot to say

Happy New Year. Hope everyone had a good year!Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009!
