After receiving a degree in architecture in 2000, Jennaca Leigh Davies worked as an architect while she went back to school to complete her MFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing. The artist graduated in 2007 and her designs combine a fascination with the geometry of nature and a love of architectural details. Materials include Tyvek, laser cut paper and enameled copper. I find it endlessly interesting to watch how she translates similar designs into each of the materials she uses.

It is difficult to pin down a description for Bèatrice Coron - book artist, paper cutter, conceptual artist, sculptor and inventor are all words that come to mind. Coron’s work spans micro and macro as she invents a situation, a city, or a world through her meticulous silhouette paper cuttings.

I’m fascinated with Tyvek, a non woven, synthetic material known mostly for house wrap, priority mail envelopes and more recently, jewelry. Now Stockholm designer Mia Cullen takes it one step further, using the material to create unique textiles.
Cullen’s curtain ‘Flake’, pictured here, is made up of star shaped pieces of Tyvek that interlock to form a textile. Origami-ish, yes? I want to play!
Many mixed media/fiber artists are experimenting with the material. A quick search uncovered this interesting Tyvek experiment.
Have you played with your Tyvek lately?
