Caffeine free!

There's been quite a few things I've wanted to blog about over the past few days, but due to my decision to wean myself off caffeine, things haven't gone quite to plan. Instead, I've been dragging my zombie self to uni in a attempt to do work, before wallowing in self-pity and falling asleep.. 
However, while I have the chance (and the energy), I thought I'd take this opportunity to share with you the photos I took at the design museum on Tuesday. I originally went just with the intention of seeing the "digital crystal" exhibition, but I ended up falling in love with Lawrence Lek's work while I was snooping around the rest of the museum...














Perving on Michaela...


Lawrence Lek is an architect and sculptor who "investigates the processes of natural growth and industrial fabrication through sculptured objects and environments".
His "unlimited edition" consisted of huge plywood modules, which he bent into really beautiful organic forms. 
I was really drawn to the simplicity of his work, and at first I actually thought his structures had been created with leather, so I was amazed to discover that the fluid shapes had been created with rigid plywood. I even loved the way he'd stitched the modules together... It was also interesting to see his early inkblot tests which has clearly been a strong influence on his often even more exciting than the final outcome..

A complete change of subject here, but despite the lack of caffeine and temporarily dying situation, I am actually a very happy bunny indeed as I managed to get tickets this morning to see bigbang in December! I think the thought of potentially being in the same room as G-dragon is keeping me alive and awake! :)
For now!..
