Shadow Art Created From Junk
by Tim Noble and Sue Webster








Tim Noble and Sue Webster take ordinary objects - like rubbish - to make sculptures which really don’t look like anything. The magic happens when they point a light at them and project the shadows onto the walls. he process of transformation, from discarded waste, scrap metal or even taxidermy creatures to a recognizable image, echoes the idea of ‘perceptual psychology’ a form of evaluation used for psychological patients. Noble and Webster are familiar with this process and how people evaluate abstract forms. Throughout their careers they have played with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with meaning.

T(ex)ting by Lora Mathis & Kasey Reinbold






T(ex)ting is a series that explores how the termination of a relationship interrupts routine, and how technology’s capacity to convert the emotional to the tangible (in the form of archived text messages) can prolong the healing process that follows a break-up.

On one of my many nights perusing tumblr, I stumbled across what someone called a body comparative, and I absolutely loved it. I searched the tag on the site and found numerous images. I didn't find the artists, but I was too compelled not to share. 

   

   


   


   

   



I've never really been a huge fan of nude photography. Not the genre as a whole, but generally the nudity I've seen photographed is meant to come off in a sexual nature. But when I saw Gonzalo Bénard's collection, which he simplys calls Nudes, I was drawn to the simplicity of the work. Below are a few shots from his book NUDE available on amazon.
