Quantussy


thinking about this swirl as the basis of the quantussy, mimicking the swirling design of the central part of the cocoquantus. perhaps with some carefully placed lines, i can create the same diverging circuitry design from my previous design

practicing pleats


pretty stiff tulle in unpressed knife pleats

origami pleats

I just love this.






the fan is an example of personalizing/humanizing of technocracy and its items. the fan is beautiful, carfully crafted, and stores energy during the day to become soft indoor lighting at night. its craft causes its owner to hold it more precious than a regular, paper fan or little bits of plastic technology.

Perhaps the costume for macheath can have similar elements of personalization of technocratic standards.
