Artist Paige Smith ( AKA “ A Common Name ” ) started Urban Geodes by filling cracks in downtown Los Angeles with these geodesic shapes . They ’re made from paper and spray blusher or resin .
The project has since spread to other cities and land , and a single-valued function of the installations can beseen at the A Common Name website , where the creative person explains :
I draw inspiration from quiet , modest , tucked away blank space : the cracks in between bricks , the grating of a waste pipe , the inside of a pipe and interior of a derelict phone kiosk . ‘ Urban Geodes ’ are create either out of paw cut and fold paper or one by one shake off resin and configured seamlessly to fit into spaces that inspire me . These installing are like hidden gems sprinkled across the world that invite us to actually look , to be playful and discover and to take part in a brilliant and global treasure hunt .
Geodes are establishment made and found in nature and my process of using manmade materials and placing them in major city concurrently signalize the tension between nature and industriousness and celebrates the smasher of urban quad . My work is steep with a magical realism that encourages us to hesitate , to discover , to be present and to determine mantrap in the mundane .
