Lovely color combinations in these works by Alyson Shotz. They are being shown as part of the Zero to One on Paper exhibition at Ratio 3 Gallery in San Francisco. Not really sure how they are made - but who cares - they are absolutely georgeous! Via Little Paper Planes.

Time Stamps

I'm totally in love with these brilliant and quite inspiring time stamps by Maker of Things (as he call himself) Eric Trine. He calls them time stamps because the elements are a myriad of things in his studio – client projects, personal projects, plants, comissioned furniture etc. – all within arms reach. Visual studies only existing in their documentation – and in Ongoing Arrangements. So clever!

Cool Combinations

Love these sculptures and tableaux by American artist based in Austin, Andy Coolquitt. Fantastic colours and material combinations! His signature installations featured what he calls "somebody-mades," items he salvaged from the street and exhibited exactly as he found them, and "in-betweens," which combined those found sculptures into assemblages of his own. Truly cool mr. Coolquitt! Via I'm Revolting.

Intrusions, Protrusions and Disown

Using traditional ceramic firing processes, American artist Emily Sudd transforms collectible kitsch ceramic objects and functional ware into fine art sculptures - here from the series Intrusions, Protrusions and Disown. After collecting and arranging the various items, she subjects all of the objects to the same firing conditions, resulting in unpredictable and surprising results. In the firing, some objects retain their form, while others melt down into fluid clay and glaze. My favorite is the first one with the melted coffee pot in the tray – but hey, the lion with some indefinable thing melted over its head is pretty great too. Not to mention what's going on at some of the shelves – fantastic work! Via Lustik.

Entities and Deities

London based artist Tim Zercie is fascinated by Qabalah, The Golden Dawn, Freemasonry, Tarot, Rosicrucianism as well as Thelema Magick in these fabulous fabric beings. Zercie has interpreted the mystical texts by creating physical entities and conjuring deities, angels and/or demons from a personal realm. With the construction and manipulation of fabrics from various parts of the world, the beings embody seductive high spirited colors that magnetize attention, but veil the amputation and beheading which transforms a grotesque act into a divine one. Zercie sees this playful sacrifice as leaving these beings powerless against us, they rest as relics of the sewing rituals that were performed. Via Lustik.
