Derailing My Train of Thought by Thomas Wightman

Says Thomas about this project: “The final book sculpture of my major project series. Like the previous two sculptures it uses a visual metaphor to convey the emotions of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and embodies my research by visualising an expression used by a sufferer of OCD. The expression was ‘derailing my train of thought’, because the person felt that the rituals they had to perform were disrupting their day. Where the compulsions and worry would side track them from doing everyday activities.

 To convey this metaphor the sculpture shows a train travelling on a journey that has become disrupted, leading it to derail from its set path. Typography was used on the tracks for the title of the piece, also type was used for the coal. In the scene it shows the coal cart tipping over where the type has become mixed up to symbolise the mixed emotions during anxiety and panic”.

‘fusion’ lighting collection by fernando and humberto + baccarat via Designboom

“‘fusion’ combines the distinct expertise of french crystal manufacturer baccarat and brazilian designers fernando and humberto campana,

offering a collection of lighting which forms an alliance between two very distinct cultures and creative territories.five pieces complete the set—from small table lamps ‘nave’ and ‘amuleto’, to pendant variations noted by ‘cosmo’ and ‘galaxia’,  

rounded out by the 24-light ‘zénith alvorada’ chandelier. each lighting piece is finely handcrafted, with the main body and shades 

sheathed or enhanced through the weaving and plaiting of natural bamboo or wicker complimented by colored crystal elements, 

ultimately transforming the primary use of the materials employed into precious objects.the hybridization of these distinct parts give new meaning to the principles of collage, thus revealing organic shapes, 

creating contrasts between smooth and textured surfaces. crystal looks to a new future, as an exotic, 

unconventional light source at the crossroads of art and design.”

Tumblr Monday 105 - Tumblr Artist

Jason Laferrera | on Tumblr (USA)

The textures and contours of old maps are fascinating, even the tattered and stained parts. Artist Jason Laferrera digitally manipulates cartographic materials to create fauna and fowl in poses reminiscent of field guides from a similarly early era of publication. These idealized depictions created from recycled imagery question our relationship with the boundaries we draw to divide the natural world. The patterns of forests and shores often become an animal’s feathers or fur, while the rings of topography often trace out wings or antlers. Many thanks to actegratuit for this Monday for having introduced us Jason Laferrera!

Recycled Animal Art

Driven by a combination of her passion for fitting odd shapes together and a sympathy toward discarded objects, Japanese artist, Sayaka Ganz creates animals from thrift store plastics. She only select objects that have been used and discarded. She believes the best way for artists to help reduce waste is to show how beautiful the materials can be and what can be done with them.
