Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Ho dovuto ricredermi sulla vita
e solleticarmi dentro gli specchi
per non annegare
nel riflesso di un oceano senza fondo.Niccolai
Ceramic art by Debra Fleury
“While growing up near the ocean, I spent many hours peering at tiny creatures and looking for clues to their secret lives. This began a lifelong passion for the the minute details, the battered fragments, and the myriad patterns of organic life… Clay is critical to exploring these ideas. Touching clay and responding to its organic properties are key aspects of my largely exploratory and intuitive creative process. Risk taking and pushing materials to their limits is also important. I experiment with the forces used to shape clay, glaze, and glass as a process for imagining and exploring the effects of natural forces. I combine clays with glass or other materials to see what they reveal about their individual properties when they are fused together.”
Well If i said it was not beautiful, than id be lying. but just because i think its pretty does not mean id eat it no matter what it was!
Afterlife: Making Rotten Food Beautiful
Most people have pulled long-forgotten vegetables from their refrigerator’s depths at least once, and just the memory is enough to make a stomach turn. But one man’s fridge mold is another man’s still life. Estonian artist Heikki Leis’ Afterlife is a veritable rotting cornucopia of vegetables photographed long past their prime.
“I was inspired by some potatoes I had once left out in a pot for too long. They had started to mold and on closer examination the colors and textures looked interesting enough to take some photos,” Leis wrote in an e-mail.
Leis then started experimenting with various fruits and vegetables. He sometimes let them decay for two months, keeping them covered so they wouldn’t dry out. When Leis finished, he was truly finished. “I’m tempted to say I ate them, but the truth is I just threw them away,” he said.
Ceramics Inspiration! Work by Steve Belz!
These paintings from, New York based artist, Ben Weiner present a world from macro photographs of what appears to be either splashing swirling paint or toxic chemicals all painted in a slick photo-realistic style. Some of the materials which Weiner photographed as sources for his paintings include high-fructose corn syrup, beauty products such as roll-on deodorant, and oil paint.
