Lisa Nilsson has returned for an encore in Paper Anatomy made from the extremely tedious process of Quilling.  I wrote about her work in the past, and here’s an excerpt:

“She created these masterpieces by meticulously rolling and shaping narrow strips of Japanese mulberry paper in a technique called paper filigree or quilling.  As you can imagine, each section takes several weeks to complete.”

This time around she features a canine cut right down the middle.  An interesting note from Lisa’s site is that “The peach-colored shape located where the brain meets the sinuses is the olfactory bulb. This structure is forty times bigger in dogs than in us and enables dogs to sense smell to a degree one hundred thousand to one million times greater than humans.”

The second image is a sagittal view of an angel with an ornate circular background.  It was apparently inspired by Fra Angelico’s Annunciatory Angel (seen below).

And I bet you can’t guess what the last 2 images represent… Praying Hands.  The section passes through the large knuckles at the bases of the thumbs.

It certainly takes a unique personality to have the patience for this kind of work.

 It will be exciting to see where she goes from here.

Animal Astronauts

April 18th, 2012 | Space

My friend Neil (not Armstrong) sent me these fanciful prints of Animal Astronauts by the artist going by the name of Rubbishmonkey.  I think personifying animals is something we can all appreciate.

  It’s great to imagine how each of these animals might act in space – which natural animal instincts would carry over.

The Gorilla – Stern and Powerful

The Deer – Smart and Quick

The Cosmonaut K9 – Loyal and Courageous

The Tiger – Cunning and Stealthy

I personally hope the future involves some sort of technology that gives animals human-level intelligence.

Man’s Best Robot Friend – Welded Sculpture

March 12th, 2012 | Robot

 

Brian Mock, from Portland, Oregon, is responsible for these welded robot canines.  The sculptures are made from wing nuts, hinges, screws, nails, old electronics, and sheet metal which are meticulously welded into animals.

From the artist:

“I am intrigued by the challenge of creating an entirely unique piece from an eclectic collection of discarded objects. Giving these old, common items a new and extraordinary life as one sculpture is an artistically challenging yet gratifying process.

This type of work is also designed to be highly interactive and prompt viewers to question the reality of what they see.

Audience reactions fuel my motivation.”

I am astounded by the elegant form he is able to achieve from the scrap metal with which he works.  They aren’t clunky at all.  Mock has been visiting scrap yards for the past 10 years to obtain the materials for his sculptures, and they can take up to 3 months to complete.
