It's been a busy week or two and I need to blog more.
So... have I mentioned how much I love Cat Rabbit's creations?

Light Colour Time
Born in New Orleans, LA and living in LA, CA, Brice Bischoff's artwork deals intimately with the importance of physical and temporal space. He created his most recent series, Bronson Caves, by draping himself in colored paper and recording his movements with an extended exposure. Through this, and through much of his work, Brice tells the history of light in space and over time.
"I have always been attracted to the properties of light, and pushing that envelope in relation to photography has always been a concern of mine. Those interests are the foundation for the caves series. When I began the series and started experimenting with various movements and forms for the colored paper in relation to the architecture of the caves and I got the first few negatives back I knew I had something pretty special. It started a year long project of shooting there, exploring all the potential of that place. I have been returning to this issue of time. I think the camera is perfect for recording time, whether it is 1/1000 of a second or a year. Think of Nicholas Nixon's portraits of the Brown sisters over 25 years and how present the existence of time is in those photographs. I see time as a central issue within photographic production."

Tiny Pencil Carvings
Mind blowing tiny pencil carvings by Dalton Ghetti, a 49 year old carpenter from Connecticut. His sculptures often take years to complete mainly using a sewing needle or small metal blade to carve and no magnifying glass!
“The pencil tip is great; it’s like a pure, very homogenous material,” he said. “It cuts in the same direction, not like wood, which has a grain. But when I tell people how long it takes, that’s when they don’t believe it. That’s what amazes people more, the patience. Because everything nowadays has to be fast, fast, fast.”
