Dance among the pink forest of packing peanuts. Pose, strut, and wrap yourself with them. You are the precious cargo these peanuts are made to preserve, so act like it. http://pulpartparty.ca/

The canopies looked amazing in Geary Lane, with the help of the colourful party lighting.  The project took a total of 7 weeks, from the initial concept to completing the final panel, with only a month to fold all the paper together.

There is a total of 1974 folded intersections, holding together 1870 strips of paper.  All the paper was reclaimed from Mona’s Design Studio projects.

We are hoping to have the chance to show this project again at other exhibitions around Toronto.  Hopefully more news about this soon.

On January 14th, we participated in the 2017 Pulp: Paper Art Party.  This is the second time we created an art installation for this event.  Our previous project for the party, Illuminous, was a set of hanging screens woven together from strips of folded recycled paper.

This time, we wanted to further explore some ideas that we incorporated into the woven screens.  We developed a new method of folding the paper to create net-like canopies.  Like last time, there are no fasteners holding the paper together, only the folding method.

We folded six canopies ranging in size from 1.5′ to 5′, for a total area of over 60 sq.ft.  The sizes of the strips of paper varied to achieve a large, medium, and small net density.

At the Pulp Paper Art Party, the canopies were hung at the entrance, and created an intimate threshold experience.
