no erasers in art class: clarkehopkinsclarke + john leung

The act of a single line can never be undone; it can only be improved. There were no erasers allowed in my art class, for that, I am thankful. The gesture to conceive, create and dream could never be undone. Design is an evolving, revolving, exciting and enticing act. We see, we respond, we act, we think, we dream. Ultimately, the role of the designer is to inspire and engage, and to encourage the second line to be drawn, never disregarding the first. This is a conversation with lines.

The collaboration between John Leung and clarehopkinsclarke architects resulting in this isometric bookshelf is a fine example of design having both practical and illusive attributes.

The trickery created through this optical illusion of lines, represented through metal lines, plays with the idea of 3D elements and the affect of lines of the eye, and the viewers position with the object. The relativity of the object and the objectifier, are what determine the experience.

The power of the line, yet again, prevails and plays again.
