Waste Land (2010)






My Friend Tash told me of this film and after watching this trailer I bought it. Yesterday I watched it with my students and I have to say it is wonderful, truly inspiring. It always amazes me how I can miss things like this, but better late than never. The film follows photographer Vik Muniz as he initialises and completes an amazing project in Jardim Gramacho, the landfill site for 70% of  Rio's rubbish.

Analu Prestes II


This week promises to be just as eventful and wild as last week, after the teaching, Friday is a Brown Paper Challenge for my Fashion students, and so my mind is on paper and paper cuts. I wanted to share Analu Prestes's paper cuts, Analu mixes folds with cuts to create three dimensional work with shadows, and sometimes she paints her work to increase it's contrast.
