Me and Eve are practising making masks for the Hantu project. The brief is to create some masks inspired by Javanese and Balinese traditional ritual masks. This is our first attempt. I like it but I think we can make it a lot more Indonesian looking and slightly less evil looking!

Shoebox Mobile: as part of the Lord Whitney brief I designed this maquette of a typographic installation I proposed to put in our studio. The actual mobiles would hang up to 5 foot from the ceiling (and wouldn’t be in a box obviously!) The quotes used are ‘inspirational’ or interesting quotes from speakers at the AGI conference.
