The “Fox River Derivatives” project from Peter Hoffman is a collection of photos addressing mankind’s relationship with natural resources.  The Fox River is a 202-mile-long tributary of the Illinois River.  Hoffman shot photos as he biked up and down the river.

Then, the abstract images were created by pouring gasoline on the negatives and setting them on fire.

From the artist:

“Fox River Derivatives is a series that questions our relationship with our natural resources. Using the theme “Water and Oil”, with consideration to the large BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the images are part of a larger experiment that utilizes water and fossil fuels in the actual image-making process, letting these substances become an important variable in the visual representation. Photographs are made along the Fox River which passes through both untouched rural areas and consumer-oriented suburban sprawl.

Felted Anatomy

August 18th, 2012 | Brain

Dan Beckemeyer, hailing from O’Fallon, Illinois, is the graphic designer responsible for the images above.  They are from his series titled Systems.  He used hand-made abaca paper to create these highly detailed images of human anatomy.  He first drew the skeletal system, then stitched blood vessels before finally adding felt for the muscle mass.

I really like how the piece has an unfinished, natural look.  It also enables you to see the different layers of depth.
