about your images..delete the tip!!
  1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

  2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation. Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!

The Decay of Belonging by Kate Studley

reff_02

The Decay of Belonging

‘The Decay of Belonging’ explores the connection between location and belonging. Having grown up between the farming community in rural Cheshire and Loughborough the artist feels a fragmented sense of belonging between two locations. By relocating farm materials from her dairy farm to Loughborough to create these sculptures, the artist aims to recreate a sense of belonging to the farm in the location that she currently resides. Such preservation of belonging is necessary in contemporary society as the future of British dairy farming is in jeopardy, and it is likely that her farm will no longer be viable in the coming years


Krapiva Zhguchaya

Krapiva Zhguchaya

Krapiva Zhguchaya is a collaborative research project by Studio laVina and Varvara Lazareva, that explores the possibilities of the stinging nettle plant to create a variety of materials and products. The stinging nettle is a weed widespread in Europe and Asia and is often seen as undesirable. Traditionally it was used in Russian culture as a source for clothes, fishing nets, sailing ropes, traditional medicine, food and house insulation, because of its antiseptic properties. Similar to linen production, craftsmen were extracting the fibres that grow inside the stalks of the plant to create a thread, textile or paper. To create a new life for this material they made modern products through re-thinking contemporary production techniques. The stinging nettle was harvested in Russia and in the Netherlands during various seasons of the year to test how this influences the material qualities. Using the hands on approach they learned that dried stalks contain only about 10% of the fibre and the rest was the thatch, this was not used by craftsmen before. This discovery and the desire to not create waste pushed the project forward and resulted in a wider range of products made from nettles, where you would use not just the fibre, but the thatch as well. Pigments also come from the plant itself, with the entire plant used for production.
