In the Light

I love night photography because it showcases our environment in such a unique, peaceful way. Jarrett Murphy impresses me with his ability to capture the duality of man’s presence and absence, as nature is being constructed around and by civilization. His vision is to record these landscapes impacted by but vacant of human presence. Beautiful.

Dawed

Dynamic fiber work by graphic designer turned multi-media artist Gabriel Dawe. His grand use of color, scale and geometric pattern immediately caught my eye—not to mention his fantastic choice of media, thread. The effect is like a real-world version of computer generated imagery. Stunning.

I would love to be able to walk through and be a part of his environment.

Kate MccGwire

There is something eerily beautiful about the work of Kate MccGwire. The London-based artist takes feathers and creates these unique, motion-filled, sculptures and installations. Her bird-like forms that undulate naturally out of pipes, fireplaces and cracks in the walls are meticulously made from thousands upon thousands of feathers that beg to be touched.

Small Spaces

Can I move in?

Knitting is for Pus****

Olek is a Polish born street artist who now resides in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Her goal is to "crochet everything that enters her space." Her latest project was crocheting the bull statue on Wall Street, which was inspired by the statues sculptor, Arturo Di Modica, who placed the bull on Wall Street without permission in 1989. However, unlike the bull, her artwork was taken down only a few hours later by a caretaker .





"A loop after a loop. Hour after hour my madness becomes crochet. Life and art are inseparable."







Olek has applied for a grant to do a project that will be in Times Square later in the year, I cant wait to see what she does next.

Greeting the Simple Life

Andy Kehoe was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and now spends his days painting in his attic in Portland, OR.



He grew up reading comics and found escape in the over stylized violence they portrayed. His paintings show his childlike innocence from a time when magic and monsters existed in his life. I love his work, it brings my imagination to a place I forgot was there.

Yarn Land

Utterly fascinating thread installations by Parisien artist Sébastien Preschoux. He likes to make his stringent geometric installations by realizing shapes with traditional materials and tools that computers can realize within seconds – out in our everyday environment where there is no graphic to begin with. With a camera and some well placed lighting, Preschoux captures his string sculptures to share with the world.

I can’t begin to imagine how much time he uses on each installation.

The Retro Spectrum

Vinyl Williams is a man of many trades, and his trades are equally genius. He is an artist and a musician and combines both of this talents effortlessly. Hailed from Salt Lake City, UT, Williams has been known to infuse psychedelic, ambient, drum & bass, and dub into a middle-eastern themed genre. But he goes beyond that by recording everything with pseudo-scientific measurements to create vibrational states using frequency combinations. Woah. I discovered his art first and I am completely amazed by his detailed imagery and how it blends beautifully with visions of our expansive soaring magical world.

Transformation

Snow has the power to completely transform a landscape; it’s an almost magical moment to look out the window and see your world covered in white. Snow can itself be transformed into works of art, temporary of course, but dazzling in spite of, or perhaps because of their temporary nature.

More than just snowmen or forts in your backyard, here are some amazing snow sculptures from around the world.
