The
Hoodoo series offers elements of the Alberta prairies to the
global design landscape. By adding meaning to each product,
Hoodoo items are intended to be timeless, well-designed objects
for the contemporary home.
THE SHOTGUN APPROACH
The Hoodoo Series- Part 2
The intent of our next project is to
explore another series of objects from a completely new perspective.
A complete departure from the typical design process, our medium
of expression is a 12-guage shotgun. In Part 2, we’ve transformed
the function of a firearm (a weapon to designed initiate death
and destruction) to a tool that creates aesthetics and form.
“Our investigation allows the
blasts from the shotgun to be our vehicle of creativity. Like
traditional painting, we are enabling the force of the shotgun
to shape our work. As designers of this project, we have facilitated
the Art-making event, and the shotgun takes our form to its first
stage of development. From there, we will apply the design process
to create a new series of objects. In the next coming months,
we will release another series inspired by our research”.
