JORGE AYALA : POST-DIGITAL CURIOUSITIES

[Ay]A Studio :: Jorge Ayala

Material Exploration

[Ay]A Studio is a "global design laboratory" based in Paris and founded by Architect and innovator Jorge Ayala. As a student of architecture, Mexico City born Jorge Ayala explores the implications of digital technology through a variety of disciplines. Featured below, the couture pieces of Jorge Ayala Clothing Design, expose his roots in architectural drawings, digital fabrication and a fascination of material explorations--all of these right down my alley! A refreshingly risky design sense and method of representation let us know he is not afraid to be in a class all his own! Surely, Jorge Ayala is a name to keep track of in the world of experimental fashion and couture.

HADLEY WILLIAMS - ABSTRACTION

Hadley Williams :: Material Explorations + Abstract Art
Mixed Media

California based artist Hadley Williams creates these playful 3-Dimensional pieces of art from every day objects like bubble wrap, paint, recycled plastic, plaster and even the foam from coat hangers. Ranging from whimsical to more graphic and always with a concentration on the objects' textures, Williams encourages us to re-think what we know of everyday objects in a new, more playful, and inspiring way.
