Sydney Design 2011 – 30 July – 14 August 2011

What is an attic but a place of forgotten treasures rediscovered? Within the walls of Object Gallery’s Project Space, paper engineer Benja Harney has used the simple medium of paper to intricately craft objects that one might find within an attic. He has recreated a room where discarded domestic objects sit alongside a spider web – all carefully constructed from paper. Complete with architectural features such as a single window made from paper and old found objects sourced from second-hand stores, The Paper Attic leads the viewer into a space borrowed from a home.

EXHIBITOR: Benja Harney from Paperform
