Spectacular Stick Work by Patrick Dougherty.
Using what many would consider to be ‘green-waste’ or tree clippings, twigs, sticks and reeds (mostly of willow) are the medium for Dougherty’s jaw-dropping sculptures and structures. Whilst staying with my Genius (but you know what the say about the line between genius and insanity ;D) cousin Matty J in the Borderlands Motel of EPA, I was overcome with excitement to find an installation by Patrick Dougherty a mere 5 blocks from Matt’s apartment. I was able to snap a […]

AWESOME / Experimental Documentary Entitled “Leviathan”
“Exploring the space between art film and documentary,” ‘Leviathan’ is a highly innovative survey of life on a ground-fish trawler off the coast of Massachusetts. Originally learning about this project through the New York Times homepage, further investigation only caused greater intrigue.

From quitters leaving decadent religious cities, to people surviving in humble mud structures – from the intertwining technicolor smoke trails of air-shows to air-strikes that turn buildings into rubble – the Earth’s happenings are staggering in their complexity and volume. Here’s the latest collection of favorites from the past week from LENS. PONDER PERSPECTIVE. Thanks to […]

Incredible Environmental Art & Installations by Andy Goldworthy
First catching wind of Andy Goldworthy and his site specific environmental sculptures via research on Owen Mortensen (see the post on Mortensen’s work here), I have finally sifted through the archives of the internet and scraped together the collection found below. Growing up and working on farms, Goldworthy has always had a strong tie to the land, and feels natural energies and scenes deeply. Varying in scale and complexity, some of Goldworthy’s creations take days to materialize, and some (melting […]

Contemplation Material for your Sunday.
Here is a thought provoking mini-documentary on oil production in North Dakota that exposes the unsavory facets of energy extraction / production and the grunts who make it all possible. SAVAGE.

A Real-Life ‘Where’s Waldo’ of an Eversest base camp via a Gigapixel Photograph.
With digital sensor technology now boasting 1000 Megapixel capabilities, photographs taken of vast scenes can be explored with incredible detail. Above is a photo of a upper base camp at Mt.Everest that is taken by a gigapixel camera. Able to zoom in & pick out individual climbers (the feature thumbnail is of the tent camp at the base of the photo you can barely make out in the fully zoomed out image), and view the incredible texture of the glacial […]

The Fine Craftings of Maskull Lassarre
