The neverending story

Story for the drowned

So I know that basically once this course was over so was my duty to this blog, but as it is, I realised I grew to really like it and once in a while when I come across beautiful or interesting things that are somehow related I do feel like sharing them here- so here I am. I feel like I'm Sherlock Holmes after Arthur conan doyle brought him back to life (:

:( I could not read what is written in red on her face

These photos are all from a series done by this artist

NataliaDrepina

And so is this one

Sleepwalking

And another thing, I don't know why but recently I feel like I really want to watch again one of my childhood favorite movies - The neverending story.

I think the lest time I saw it was something like 10 years ago...

Until we meet again....

The process of printing on the fabric

It's the first time that I got to print on fabric with nets rather than digital printing as I always do, a fascinating experience and very enjoyable!

Here are some pictures I managed to sneak while working on it (:

I worked on in Photoshop on the print and then I went to a printing shop to print it on a fragment page

The darkroom

Vacuum regulation in the darkroom

Washing the net after the exposure to light in the darkroom - creating the gaps that are the net pattern

The net with my pattern is ready to use! how exciting

Beautiful book art by Georgia Russell

Here are some beautiful book art by Georgia Russell. I would love to own at least one of this wonderful pieces!

Georgia Russell is a Scottish artist who slashes, cuts and dissects printed matter, transforming books, music scores, maps, newspapers and photographs. Russell has been represented by England & Co since she graduated from the Royal College of Art, and her numerous solo and group exhibitions with the gallery have led to her work being acquired by The Victoria and Albert Museum and lent to exhibitions in museums in Europe, Canada and the USA, most recently to the Museum of Art & Design, New York for Slash: Paper Under the Knife in 2009-10. Russell featured in the England & Co exhibitions Persistent Obsessions and The Map Is Not the Territory Revisited, and with the gallery at the Zoo Art Fair in 2009. Her exhibition at England & Co in May this year: Georgia Russell: Cutting Through Time, was her fifth solo exhibition with the Gallery. She has exhibited recently in Paris, with her work also featured at FIAC at the Grand Palais.

My book

Some time ago I made this clay sculpture, I started it because I wanted to express how I see the concept of book and how i feel about it.

I wanted to show that for me a book is really not a square of printed paper, a book is something flexible, malleable, expressive, dynamic, like a fabric, as you read it is shaped by the person you are.

I left the cover hard and square as in my eyes it's the steady gate into the world of imagination that is held within.

I carved in the clay words and sentence from my favorite books

and I played with it's form until I felt it got to where the work expresses the feelings that I tried to explain in words...

Alicia Martín - tornado of books

"Artist Alicia Martin's tornado of books shoot out a window like a burst of water from a giant hose. The Spain-based artist's sculptural installation at Casa de America, Madrid depicts a cavalcade of books streaming out of the side of a building. The whirlwind of literature defies gravity and draws attention with its grandeur size. There have been three site-specific installations, thus far, of the massive sculptural works in this series known as Biografias, translated as Biographies, that each feature approximately 5,000 books sprawled out around and atop one another.

"piece in motion"

Martin's giant book structures give life to the inanimate objects filled with knowledge. By constructing the curving towers with a rather free and disheveled exterior, while maintaining a sturdy core, the books' loose pages are free to blow and rustle in the wind, allowing the piece to be further animated. Take a look at the short video, below, to see the piece in motion."
