Palm of the hand nature





Ok. Feeling better about this now. I want to explore in a 2-d way, "constructed" nature, in the vaguely pleasing way that we veil the trappings of contemporary life in nature or in the 'form' of nature--cellular trees, camouflage, resin cast stumps of wood, and in the 2-d world, wood-grain mac tac, fabrics, and auto detailing vinyl, waterfalls in the east river (that is a bit more high tech), terrariums, we are copying nature as we are losing nature...just need to decide which drawing looks the best. Thinking about ikebana and astroturf.

Breathtaking


Taking a break from trees with trees. From Flavorpill by way of Ministry of Type (where you can watch the animation) by way of Fubiz from the Japanese design firm WOW10.

The artwork is by Shun Kawakami, Illustration, Suibokuga, Drawing by Tadashi Ura and the photography by Taisuke Koyama.

Friday



Decided not to drive out to buy the vinyl until I had a design that I actually liked! Here is today...still need to think. Next week will be the vinyl excursion.

It is important to have enough...

but not too much. Having one of these weeks. I think that I just need to buy the vinyl and start to cut and things will work themselves out.

Silkscreening on rug did not work very well but paint did which is a bit of a relief because it is much easier for me to do. I just have to decide whether acrylic or spray paint. More experiments.

help!
