Skips

Last night I had a little accident.  I knocked over a skip.  Admittedly it was a small skip full of paper and it got me thinking.  So I made an origami skip to match and then changed the skip to be more like the skip I knocked over so I guess I made 2 origami skips.

Like everything the skip has a story....

A while ago while I was installing Martin Kippenbergers Heavy Burschi I had this idea for an exhibition where I hired a skip and  put it in the middle of a gallery.  Artists are invited to deposit a work they made that they would like destroyed.  The show would run for a set period of time and at the end of the show the skip would be taken away and the works destroyed.  I still like this idea and have some ideas for where I would like to have the show even.  

So the other day a friend, Ellie, handed me  the small plastic skip / paper and pen holder while we were charity shopping.   I think the general response to it is that it is U.G.L.Y. but I love it.  So it is my memocube holder at home now. Thus the skip accident image.

It is strange how origami and art interrelate at least in my mind.
