Mum would've had my behind if she saw me doing this to her wall :S hahaha.
What started as a white wall next to her work station was later transformed into a great piece of art. A wallpaper from afar. But upon closer inspection, a visual diary and a collection of fiery angst & fond memories. I was quite skeptical at first. But when i saw it grew from day to day, i knew then that it had become a functional community wall for the whole agency. I think almost everyone had had their thoughts penned on it. And it was filled up within a short period of time. Who would've thought a white wall would serve a much better purpose ;) ...clever.
And to make it more flexible, the doodles are actually made on huge format white papers. Quite deceiving to the eye. Hence, they could be removed, archived and refreshed when all space has been taken up. So no one could accuse her of 'destroying' company property! Smart!
I hope this wall will continue to exist after the move ;)
WHY did you do it?
"For fun! Initially i wanted to do a structured wallpaper made of little drawings. But as the days went by, the drawings made became bigger and of unusual proportions >:( So it became what it is today :)"
The wall reminded me a lot of Choo Seong's wall in another agency which was covered with his doodles on life & advertising. I hope to do a spot on that if i can get hold of some photos! (Ex-colleagues, do email me if you have any immortalised archive of it :) That wall has since been torn down by people who didn't like such art...sigh...sad people. There's also a wall idea in a famous agency in London if i'm not mistaken.
So the next time you start staring into a blank wall...think. Sometimes being clean is just plain boring.
