(via laughing squid) Beauty In A Light Bulb SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 2011 | Comments: 23 I’ve been holding on to a few expired light bulbs with the thought that I would work with them somehow – here are a few ideas for reusing dead bulbs… Make a glass sculpture by hot gluing the bulbs together at their bases. An interesting piece to set on the coffee table – my kids really like this one. Start by gluing together four bulbs of equal size and add bulbs on to build your design. For this design, I hot glued the bulbs into a three dimensional star shape and then wrapped the center with jute. A bauble for my desk – to keep the ideas coming. They may be burned out, but they can still hold light – try using them with candles. Place a small glass cylinder inside of a larger one, fill the space with bulbs and you've got an interesting display of glass and light. I’m listening to Room For Squares tonight.

Seung Mo Park "Maya" series (2012) Using a process that could be the new definition of meticulous, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each plane that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart, giving the portraits a certain depth and dimensionality that’s hard to convey in a photograph, but this video on YouTube shows it pretty well.

Shintaro Ohata's Paintings That Are Also Sculptures - Beautiful Shintaro Ohata’s painting slash sculptures are beautifully finished glimpses into another world. The artist, born in Hiroshima, Japan, creates paintings that are accompanied by three-dimensional sculpture. Both the painting and the sculpture are so perfectly rendered that they seamlessly intermingle with one another. Ohanta’s painting abilities incorporate light, mood and subject impeccably. The effect is a snapshot out of a narrative where each figure is the heroine of her own story. A girl perched on a ledge blowing bubbles, the girl dancing through a nighttime urban scene, or my favorite, the girl walking amongst puddles that reflect the sky, looking up, which happens to be out at the viewer; each of these scenes has a unique story that feels very sweet, compelling and endearing. There is a theme of solitude to Ohanta’s work.

Seon Ghi Bahk's Cascading Sculptures Created Out Of Charcoal - Beautiful There is something intrinsically fascinating about seeing the ordinary created in new, surprising ways. Artist have long used this technique to make their viewer contemplate new connections and possibilities, and the internet has proven to be a particularly useful tool in spreading this type of work. South Korean artist Seon Ghi Bahk is an expert at this method. Using charcoal and other natural materials en masse to form familiar objects, Bahk reminds of us the connection between man-made goods and their source. Bahk’s precision is absolute, meticulously hanging large groups of charcoal at specific heights to collectively echo architectural and building elements, such as stairs, columns, shelves and planters.
