Tom Fruin’s Outdoor Sculpture

New York artist Tom Fruin’s outdoor sculpture Kolonihavehus in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen has the appearance of a friendly and colourful stained-glass house, yet it also evokes thoughts of churches and Charles Rennie Macintosh.

Growing Grass Sculptures

Exhibiting at the Invisible Dog Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, these growing grass sculptures change every time you see them. Made of soil and wheat seeds with a structure from recycled metal, they're the creative work of mixed media artist Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy.

"The natural world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being," Roussel-Giraudy says. "Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it's origin, it's transport, has an impact on us beyond it's taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality."

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Snow,

As water vapor starts condensing on its surface, the ice particle quickly develops facets, which form into a different shaped snowflakes depending on temperature.

Stellar Plates or ‘common snowflakes’ are thin, plate-like crystals with six broad arms that form a star-like shape, forming when the temperature is near -2 C (28 F) or near -15 C (5 F).








This is the season for it isnt? I've not seen it, but I thought I love snow, someday, I would want to experience it myself one day.

The Pencil Sculptures

Nowadays, in our modern high tech society we all tend to write on the laptop a lot, whether its work related, or sketching on a CAD program, or just chatting with some friends online. However, no matter which CAD program one might use, no matter, how much typing we do per day nothing relates to using a pencil. I know it might sound very old school and quirky, but when talking on the phone you draw squiggles with a pencil, when an idea pops to mind and you have to sketch it out you use a pencil! Others, such as people like me have a pencil collection, and although one life is not enough to use all the pencils I’ve collected and I don’t even dare sharpen my pencil collection I guess the only person I would trust them to would surely be Dalton Ghetti.

Despite the fact that he would sharpen them, make them small, and create tiny like sculptures on the pin point of the pencils, I would be very happy because what he does is just amazing! Dalton Ghetti creates sculptures on a tiny scale; the Bridgeport, CT artist/carpenter creates incredibly detailed miniature sculptures on the tip of a pencil, on the graphite. A carpenter by trade, Ghetti carves the graphite of the pencils in his spare time often putting in just an hour or so of his spare time before his eyes go weak and tired. The process of creating micro sculptures is a rather time-consuming one, as it can take him years to complete a complicated piece; for instance the linked chain pencil sculpture took him two years and the giraffe took even longer!

'narrow mist'

With each of his new works, austrian artist erwin wurm reinvents the vocabulary of sculpture
turning it on its head. using simple materials, mundane objects, wit and written instructions, wurm invites people to interact with his art, transforming spectators into active participants, encouraging them to poke fun at the paradoxes of contemporary society. designboom just visited erwin wurm's interactive exhibition 'narrow mist', on show at the UCCA in beijing, which presents sculptures influenced by childhood houses, fashion fetishes an 'stuff' you can find in the chinese metropolis.










Ahhh, nice is'nt it so?

I got a hidden thought. I can't wait for 2011 to come by! OMG!
