Sorry folks, I haven’t updated my blog in a long time. This has its reasons! I needed a retreat, sort of a sabbatical, an evaluation and reorientation. I’m going to be back in public and on the (online) market soon with a slightly different approach.
Mayari’s focus will be on co-designed or commissioned upcycled design-art works. As an artist I will also be open for any kind of collaboration with lovely, responsibly operating enterprises or educational institutes (giving workshops) in the field of upcycling (turning trash into treasure)!
I’m working on a new website! Please have patience and soon you’ll be able to check out all the new design-art works I have been inventing and creating whilst I was in the retreat! I can’t wait to share them with you!
Trascript
Ok, I’ll tell you what my problem is: FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS. First my my passion was DESIGN, then SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, now it’s UPCYCLING.
I’m a designer and fascinated by sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many things!
But now, at least I feel I can handle this topic (upcycling). It’s concrete and very close to my heart.
Transcript:
As an ambitious designer I went to the market on Sunday to make a “market research” for the word/idea “upcycling“.
I wondered how popular this idea is as opposed to recycling.
Here are the results:
Upcycling - 3 know, 23 don’t know
Recycling - 26 know, 0 don’t know.
As you can see, I’m on a BIG mission to make upcycling better known!
Oh yes. Most people then wanted to know what upcycling is! I made this sketch to explain it. I’ll make a better one soon and put it on this blog!
