Material Confusion

‘One-to-One’ by Helsinki based artist and designer Caroline Slotte features a set of wooden objects on a wooden background. Not unusual - if it wasn't for the fact that these objects are not normally made in wood. Still we're able to identify them as well known objects. Demonstrating an engaged sensitivity towards the associations, memories and narratives inherent in the objects, Slotte´s intricate physical interventions allows us to see things we would otherwise not have seen. The tensions between the recognizable and the enigmatic, the ordinary and the unexpected are recurring thematic concerns in Caroline Slotte’s artistic work. Via Ignant.

Balsa Wood and Watson

Enjoy these beautiful and amazing sculptures by Australian artist Amy Joy Watson from the series Year Without Boys and Big Rock Candy Mountain. The work is constructed through the delicate hand-stitching of finely cut balsa wood segments and I'm especially in love with the bows! They look so elegant though they are formed through the unlikely pairing of wood with needle and thread - what a challenge! Via The Jealous Curator.
