Slashies & Inspiration
Monday April 23 2012
Zoe Bowden is Object’s Administration Assistant, and also runs her own business Pouch Handmade, which makes one-off handmade collages from recycled and repurposed fabrics and paper.
We all need a little bit of inspiration from time to time. Inspiration often comes in many forms, for some all it takes is a really strong coffee and a chat with a friend. For others it comes in more traditional forms such as an interesting new book or a recent trip to far-off lands. Me, I seem to find inspiration from other people, specifically from watching or reading about other creative people and how their creative minds work. I suppose it’s a little like being a creative sticky beak! As a designer/crafter/business owner myself, just seeing other creative people fulfilling their creative dreams and talking about something with passion instantly makes me want to dig out my pencil and paper! It’s contagious.

Benja Harney’s Paper Creations
We are very lucky to be able to bring you an incredible show currently showing in Object’s Project Space. In connection with Sydney Design Week, Benja Harney, a well known and highly respected paper artist, brings to life objects that one might find in their attic. You will find an old wooden rocking horse, much loved ice skates, a discarded umbrella, piles of dusty books and even a mouse hole in the wall, all of which is intricately made out of paper. This exhibition allows viewers to marvel at Benja’s incredible talents for all things paper and reflect on their own personal hidden treasures they might have tucked away in the attic or under the stairs.
These objects have a certain nostalgia about then in their uncanny realistic nature. It feels almost as if you have stumbled upon them in their uncanny realistic nature. It feels almost as if you have stumbled upon hidden away treasures that bring back childhood memories.
