crystal growth studies
teamtichenor grows crystals.
“teamtichenor is a husband and wife team of artists. we harvested these natural objects from the park down the street from our new home. we then dried out the acorns and soaked them in a super saturated solution of crystal growing liquid. the crystal making process takes several days to form, and we never know exactly what we will get. these are fragile homegrown natural objects, they wont last forever but should be enjoyed before they return once again to the earth.”
Get the book, Crystal Morning, here, and the necklaces (awesome) here.

There’s a nice mini article by Jurgen Bey in the July 2007 issue of icon, describing the ideal design school environment.
I would like our studio at the RCA to be like a library of trial and error. The only difference would be that libraries are really well organised. Ours looks like a bit of a mess, but in many ways it’s not. There is stuff all over everyone’s desks and a lot of it looks completely random or useless but it all has a purpose, even if the student is not sure what it is yet. It’s a language of making connections – the language of rubbish.
The nice thing about rubbish is there are no hierarchies – the smallest thing might be just as important as the biggest. So we should cultivate it and develop systems that don’t kill the rubbish world.
