ErgoKiwi x Paper Artist Collective
#PACpassport - a collaboration between the Paper Artist Collective and ErgoKiwi. An exclusive edition of the ergonomic ErgoKiwi handle was specially made for the PAC and made its way round the globe to 22 PAC paper artists from 9 countries. Each artist created an entry for the “passport”, based on the theme of 'Travels & Adventures', before passing the box onto the next artist.
My contribution paid homage to a few of the cities I've lived in; bridges connect four cities that are of personal significance: SIN > NYC > MSP > RVA. The paper artwork unfurls to delineate the journey, but also folds flat so that it fits perfectly in the "passport" binder. The title of the piece is a quote from Jim West.
