Poetic Metamorphosis

For my response,  I wanted to channel my Tim Burton and create a super grungy, monochromatic, almost grayscale piece. I started by folding origami boxes to create the boxspring and mattress, colouring the mattress to look like an old, worn piece. The boxspring was coloured in a gray manner, with spirals to match what would later be part of the design of the bedposts. The bedposts I rolled and soaked in water-diluted ink, to give it a gray color and to also use the properties of the paper as an adhesive of sorts. I cut slits into the posts and then created the bedframe, pieces of paper folded several times over to provide sturdy support.
