The Consistent Variable Project Workbook page 20 SHREDS

Friday, June 9th, 2006

I do think it was quite brilliant to see that large sheet of green duck as something waiting to be de-and-re-constructed. I guess every designer did this to varying to degrees, but the folks who stripped and wove it saw something there that I didn’t.
