I started making lots of bunny boxes from the origami paper bought from the craft shop, but discovered that once it had been inflated, a box was difficult to get back to a folded shape. For easy transport, I have kept them all at the aeroplane - like stage. I tried folding them so the colour shows for the box or the arches/ears to provide variety.
I also coloured in the matchsticks according to decade using pens, fine liners, crayons, oil pastels, make-up, hair wax, and pastels. The different colours for each decade are really obvious, and it highlights the changing nature of design, and the way the art school has had to evolve over the years. I like the uneven edges made here, as the viewer is forced to look at the negative space.

It would be interesting to see how other people arrange them, they would probably not arrange them in blocks as I have, so adjacent matches would mostly be different colours. I can then photograph this.

It would be great to include these in the exhibition as well, perhaps as one long colour stripe according to other people's arrangements, in time order. I really liked the effect from using thread to make a colour stripe; one possibility is sewing them onto a canvas, or paper.
