Liz Frolich For Liz Frolich, sculpture is a means of travelling through time and space to map both personal and universal experience. Earliest memories and travels inform her work: myths, legends, the strange and mysterious in nature are the inspiration. The collection of objects and materials acquired over the years are precious to Liz, her travelling companions on a journey through life. They lie in wait, ready to trigger a process of development, media suggesting ideas and ideas media. They are taken to pieces, destroyed, aged, reworked and restored to reveal evidence of a former glory, beauty or function. The exact meaning of purpose of these objects may elude us but there is often the sense of something half remembered, a glimpse of a time or place that can still be perceived through the obscuring layers of time and decay. What are we looking at?
Heather Horton Artwork gingerdead.com L U C O N G F R A N C / F E R N A N D E Z Giorgio Morandi - Italy's greatest still life painter Natura Morta (still life) (oil on canvas, 1956) Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto Giorgio Morandi is one of those painters who, at first glance, seem to defy categorisation. He was nicknamed ‘il monaco’ ( the monk ) due to his reclusive lifestyle. Although Morandi does not fit comfortably into to the canon of movements in modern art, his paintings are stylistically embedded in the Italian tradition. Morandi Still Life (1955) and San Gimignano - an Italian Medieval Town Even Morandi's compositions and choice of still lifes objects allude to his Italian heritage. Morandi's Still Life Objects Morandi deliberately limited his choice of still life objects to the unremarkable bottles, boxes, jars, jugs and vases that were commonly found in his everyday domestic environment. Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) Still Life with Pottery Jars (oil on canvas, 1630s) Museo del Prado, Madrid Morandi's Intensity of Observation (oil on canvas, 1929) Morandi's Light (oil on canvas, 1951)

The Book Surgeon (15 pieces) Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed. Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms. "My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception," he says. "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. Dettmer is originally from Chicago, where he studied at Columbia College. Update: Read our exclusive interview with the Book Surgeon here. Brian Dettmer's website
