Catherine Willis's portraits of beaches, stars and magnolia are wonderful thoughts on space and natural materials, three dimensional sketch books perfect for designers and furniture makers.

Stick Charts

A collaboration between architect Timothy Koelle and Paulino a Mayan weaver has meant the re-discovery or appropriation of an ancient tool of sketching and planning, the stick chart.

"Stick charts were 18th and 19th century navigational charts used in the Marshal Islands. They were woven, abstract constructions of coconut fronds, documenting ocean swells, counter swells, currents, and even (some say clouds, bird paths, flotsam and the navigator's particular requirements. In essence, it is a map of the makers own world." Timothy Koelle

These have a simplicity and a poetry about them, they speak volumes.
