week something

Numerous tiny lemmings follow each other in a figure eight. I made this drawing so they could continue following and grazing forever without falling off any cliffs.

Elise is the maker behind Argyle Whale and is in love with all things involving small animals and anything handmade. I love how she takes something like a print and makes it something that everyone can have and love , but each is still personal and cared for.

Brittany Veitch & Ben Landau :Living in the city isolates us from the natural world. Built environments are barriers to greenery, fresh air, sea breezes and sunlight. Skyscrapers soar above us instead of trees, while laneway stench emanates from the city grid. Bio-accessories is a series of wearable couture pieces which mask the unpleasant sights, sounds and scents of the city in an attempt to bring some of the natural world back into civil living.

Each piece of Bio-accessories incorporates a living organism to accompany the wearer throughout their day, creating a symbiotic relationship. The human tends to the animal or plant, which reciprocates by bringing fresh air, light, greenery, privacy or birdsong to the wearer. The pieces are representative of mobile natural environments, framed within a fashionable alternative – the couture accessory. With a trend towards boutique individuality, Bio-accessories provide an unusual take on the wearable garment.

Goldsworthy regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns. Also he would be my future husband if it wasn't for the fact that he hates people, lives in scotland , and is already married.

Rob Voerman"Some years ago, I started a body of work in which I try to create the architecture of fictive communities living in remote areas or occupying existing city-landscapes. The communities will consist of a mixture of utopia, destruction and beauty, a symbiosis of hippie-communities from the seventies, with their often highly decorated self-build structures, the cabin of the Uni-bomber hidden in the Montana forests, art-deco and other influences. Romanticism combined with the grim qualities of terror. It is often a direct translation of destruction in a purely aesthetic form."
