A Lantern is 10 feet of paper....

Ok, the Lamp/Lantern/Paper project... well... i've created SOMETHING... It didnt come out quite as planned, but then again my plan was fairly vague to begin with...

"Propose the ridiculous and take it seriously."
Hmmm, dont mind if i do.

I began by exploring ways in which a person could be INSIDE the lamp/paper, and playing round do a few sketches. I quite liked the aesthetic of this kinda thing...

So i decided to run with it. However, the brief called for my lamp/paper to be 7feet high...









I started looking at how a 7 foot structure could be worn on the arm,
I could just imagine some uppety aristocrats strolling around a ballroom sporting the latest fasion, the wearable lamp... see what lack of sleep can do to a man?

Anyway... this is what i came up with ...

Woah, that's pretty cool man. Is this for studio or something or just for yourself? I wish they had let us do stuff like this, where we could use materials that didn't suck. For our first major project last year we had to do this eating tool thing, which basically meant a bowl, but our model had to be made out of card. And not coloured card, white card. Only white card. How shit is that? But yeah, it looks pretty cool, and I like those pictures you did, very nice.

Wow, thanks for the positive feed back folks. The lamp is a little side project for our studio class. Looks like im gonna have to do it again though, because the emphasis is supposed to be on paper and different things you can do with it... what the hell am i gonna do with this friggin 6 foot lamp in my bedroom...

WD-40 works a treat when you want to burn stuff.
