Kim Keever | homemade artwork. Liquid Experiments Produce Hypnotizing Swirls of Color. New York-based artist Kim Keever experiments with colorful tinted paints and water to create these beautifully abstract, hypnotizing formations. As a former thermal engineer for NASA projects, Keever tends to veer his work towards the scientific and experimental. To produce this particular style, the artist drops various amounts of color into water and documents the swirling liquids as they mix and mingle. He uses an enormous 200-gallon fish tank as the setting for much of his work, which offers plenty of space for the incredibly unpredictable reactions to emerge.
Staring at the mesmerizing photographs is a similar experience to pointing out shapes among the clouds. Within the blobs, swirls, and trickles of color, viewers might begin to imagine recognizable forms like fabric or faces, and some of the swirls almost solid enough to touch.

At the time the piece wasn’t actually complete as he was still perfecting how all the organs fit together thanks to feedback he received online. At long last the model is done and Kiechle launched an extensive website with free downloadable templates you can print and assemble along with photographed step-by-step instructions for every single piece.
So now there’s no excuse to not spend the next three months of your life on this. Good luck! Embroidered 3D Insects and Snails by Claire Moynihan. Artist Claire Moynihan lives and works in rural Hertfordshire, England where she creates tiny sculptural insects and snails on felt balls using a variety of freeform embroidery techniques. After completing a collection of work Moynihan then organizes the pieces inside traditional entomological boxes which from a distance could almost pass for the real thing.
See much more of her work in her gallery. (via lustik) 「LIFE . ART」Tour Exhibition 2013' Artist Giuseppe Licari Transforms a Dutch Gallery into an Indoor Park. For his new “Public Room” exhibition, artist Giuseppe Licari transformed the Hommes Gallery in Rotterdam into an indoor park – complete with a large grassy lawn, small trees, and even birds. The installation inverts the common understanding of indoors as private and outdoors as public. People are invited to enter and engage in activities that would normally take place in an outdoor public park. Visitors can lie in the grass, read a book, enjoy an espresso or chill with friends.
During the installation, the Hommes Gallery will host a weekly program of events that will explore how urban ecology is associated with the social, cultural and economic tactics of survival within various communities. + Giuseppe Licari The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader.

For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web, but if you haven’t seen it all head over to her Facebook and read an interview on designboom.
Photos will also be appearing on her Instagram at @redhongyi. Mandala Art Therapy & Healing Idea | Healing Mandalas. History & Meaning of the Mandala The Mandala (Sanskrit for “circle” or “completion”) has a long history and is recognized for its deep spiritual meaning and representation of wholeness. Many people and cultures have vouched for the mandala’s intrinsic meaning. Buddhists, Tibetans, and Hindus have all derived meaning from the mandala and its captivating beauty. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung has called it “a representation of the unconscious self.” The mandala is widely recognized as a meaningful reflection of its creator. Mandala art therapy & healing can be a great source of reflection on one’s soul. Mandalas can be seen all around us, but are not just people-centric. The “circle with a center” pattern is the basic structure of creation that is reflected from the micro to the macro in the world as we know it.
On our planet, living things are made of cells and each cell has a nucleus — all display circles with centers. This couldn’t have been explained more beautifully. Fabian Oefner | Photography.
