Photos showing the lamps of ’Billiedskolen i Tvillinghallen Wednesday 5 o’clock class’. and Fantasy Design conferance. 2011
After the commissioned Diamond Lamp for ‘Billiedskolen’ and the ‘Wednesday 5 o’clock Class’ making their own lamps, their work caught the attention of ’Fantasy Design in community’ resulting in an invite to talk at the Fantasy Design Conference on design Education – ‘Involving Children and young people in designing the future’. Held in an old monastery in Gent, Belgium. I was asked to talk about the theme ’Design for all’ so I spoke about my desirers to be Robyn Hood.
Landscape – Diamond shade
Diamond Shade – Handmade by Jeremy Walton, 2010. Using the E-craftbook JW006
Dimension 80cm x 60cm x 60cm. Various selected paper, salvaged books and some Folk Art magic.
‘Billedskolen i Tvillingehallen’ commissioned the making of a Diamond Shade for their meeting room. I based the lamp on traditional landscape painting, (rectangle landscape, green at the bottom, moody sky at the top). Besides coloured paper I used old books about planes, so parts of planes now fly through the sky. In referance to the history of Tvillingehallen, the building was once a slaughterhouse, I found an appropriate book and used it to make the sky a little overcast and to dot the landscape with cattle.
