The Almost Indestructible Kolo Havana Box | |
|
Monday 27th Apr 2009 |
Artist Lie Fhung is starting a new art project she's calling Dream Archives that will involve Kolo Havana Boxes: I just wanted to share with you the process of my first experimentation with a KOLO Havana Box. Well, well, well, I am very impressed with how sturdy and durable the KOLO Havana Box is! I was surprised to find out that it was made with wooden board instead of book's binder board as my initial guess. It took me a hack saw to cut a window on the lid! Next, I wanted to burn out the small window on the front wall to provide an opening to peek through. Well, guess what? It wouldn't got burned! Well, it might eventually get burned if exposed to open flame for hours, I guess... I did singe the fabric lining a bit, but the paper itself persisted. I had prepared a small bucket of water with dampened cloth nearby beforehand just in case - but it was proven to be totally unnecessary! I was using a small lighter and after a while I just couldn't stand the heat on my finger so I had to give up and just used a cutter instead. Even with a cutter it wasn't easy! Now, isn't it something to say about the quality of KOLO Havana Box? Check out Fhung's art work here and her digital artistry web site here. You can see previous Lie Fhung projects that have appeared on Koloist here, here, here and here. |
