tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

The whole of italy becuase i love the culture and the art :)

 First came across this artist from one of my friends who put some of his pieces on her blog http://manshouldbebrave.tumblr.com/ 
but i decided to have a look at some more of his work as i really liked it, and wondered what his processes were xx 

I found these images of painting within my archive of research, and i thought i would share them with you all,
I collected these because i was doing a project on my Foundation year to do with Wrapping people and Objects.
hope they maybe inspire you :)  

This are some photographs of water drops taken my Martin Waugh, he combines art and science to capture nature’s infinite beauty. 
Martin’s creative use of high-speed photography makes it possible to capture the smooth and effortless curves of liquid, eliciting a childlike sense of fun and whimsy. his images are engaging metaphors for life and are as intriguing to the eye as they are thought provoking.
by varying the size, speed and position of drops, as well as the color, viscosity, and surface tension, Martin creates a panorama of color, movement and intrigue.

Liquid Sculpture images are fluids in motion, frozen in time by a flash of light, they are droplets witnessed in mid-splash.

he orchestrates these sculptures by accurately aiming the drops and releasing them with precise timing. As nature takes its course, he photograph the unfolding forms using a digital camera and electronic flash.
He changed the shapes by varying the drops and their physical properties. Color, viscosity, and surface tension are controlled with dye, glycerin and soap 

I found these Sound paint sculptures when i was browsing the internet for inspiration and thought i would share them with you,

 Dentsu London, the design studio that brought us iPad light painting, teamed up with photographer Linden Gledhill to produce an amazing array of “sound sculptures” to promote Canon’s line of PIXMA color printers.  Gledhill used a Canon 5D Mark II to capture these “dancing droplets of paint in extreme detail as they react to sound waves.”  How’d they do it?

The ‘colour sculptures’ were created by stretching a balloon over a speaker to form a membrane.  A few drops of paint were then placed in the centre of the balloon and a single sharp note was played through the speaker, causing the paint to erupt for just a fraction of a second.  We experimented with different instruments, frequencies and volumes, which each had an effect on the formations.

The color droplet experimentation resulted in beautiful imagery and video.  Look in the gallery below to see the makeshift rig and a handful of pictures; after the break you’ll find video of the droplets in super slo-mo action (5,000 frames-per-second slow) and a behind-the-scenes peek into how it was executed.  Head over to Dentsu London’s Flickr and YouTube pages for more content.

“The idea behind the project was to look into the meanings behind the images that make up the Major Arcana of Tarot Cards. Many variations of the Tarot deck have been created and I was curious to find out where the ideas stemmed from. Through research I was able to break down the various meanings leaving me a platform to work from.

I developed my own themes based around things like geometric shapes so that I could encode my images with meaning. The images link to each other and can be read to some extent almost as a progressive story, or commentary. Various signifiers are used throughout the images such as cubes, triangles and spheres to help communicate my ideas. Cubes for example are a representation of the material world and triangles show transition. In an image such as The Hanged Man we see two men firmly seated on a large cube, whilst above their heads another cube breaks apart around them. This image depicts a sense of rebellion for mankind, when changes take place in the material world we are so accustomed to, and we begin to see it from a new light. The Lovers image is an interpretation of the fall of man from Eden. The man represents mankind in his fall after taking the fruit of Knowledge, whilst being denied eternal life. The 6 engraved into his chest communicates his punishment, and how that now, once cast out he will feel pain and suffering.”

I really do love his work, i used his work for research in my foundation year :)  

Christo Jaracheff is a sulptor who works with existing ananamte objects, wrapping them up in various layers. he used fabrics, string and/or rope to wrap the objects up. This results in his work giving a mysterious quality and invites the viewer to  quiry as to what the package and/or what the wrapped object may contain.

Many views may not understand the thought behind the wrapped objects however my opinion in them is that it gives you a sense of mystory and/or hiden identity, as only the sculptor knows what the objects is made from, and the colour, in addtion if it contains something this is a mystory as well.

I was going through some of my files on my laptop and I found these mix media pieces of these faces and thought i would share them with you all :) 

W.K.Lyhne

In her series of oil paintings called “The Stream” she pictures her own responses to Rembrandt’s “Women Stepping in the Stream”. Some of which include smearing herself with oil and having the figure literally step into oil giving a connection between the paintings and its medium.

 
The reasoning for choosing this paintings it due to its dramatic and atmospheric feeling as its only focusing on one part of the figure/image, being the clothing, which is helped by the different tones and the textures of the oil paint on the canvas.
