Kate posted a lovely story on her blog the other day about collections and it put me in such a good mood just to see it. I love collections. There's something so inspiring about them - as a resource, a memory or just within themselves. I love collectors too - it's not just the feeling of a kindred 'bower bird' spirit, it's also the vision and imagination behind their collection of what it may become.
It put me in mind of a very interesting fellow I came across one day while blog surfing, Vladimir Koncar. He's a typographer, photographer and fine artist who - when he gets fed up with the day job - begins building up typographic representations made from his own collections of various objects just for fun. I like that :)
To have a peek at many more of his collected typographies, you can find his portfolio here.
clover type
paper clips type
tea bags type
How clever is that?
ReplyDeleteI do love the paper clip type! They are all fantastic. And did you know, I have found a four leaf clover? :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, especially the paper clips.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun. I like the fact they are everyday objects and I really like his phrases.
ReplyDeleteI am happy I put you in a good mood! Thats up lifting in itself. Happy weekend!
a big smile here at the creativity ...with such everyday things
ReplyDeleteThese are fun, but I want to tell you about the brooch- (I slept from eight to seven yesterday and missed my bloggin time- maybe now my brain will work better!) Anyway, I love your explorations of 'collage' with varied materials-I find the idea of adding crochet- very exciting-
