Bompas and Parr

Gorgeous jelly by Bompas and Parr. I love their work- it's mad yet ingenious. They actually create the kind of idea's you think would never be possible, and execute them brilliantly. Jelly is just the best material, there's something about it that just makes you want to look at it, touch it and eat it.

The best thing about Bompas and Parr is how accessible their work is to everyone- kids obviously love it, but adults and people who have never been into art are entranced by it also. For me that's what successful art is.

'Candy' Honey scene

In a recent crit of my work, I was told to look at this scene in the Australian film 'Candy'. Thanks to Theo for finding this for me I know it took a while! Watch from 6:20:

Caves/Visual illusion

I've been to lots of caves before, but what was really interesting about these ones (in Spain) was that in the heart of the cave, deep underground, there was a lake which was so still that it perfectly mirrored the cave above it, creating the illusion that in front of you was a treacherous drop. In fact it was just a shallow lake, but it was so eerie, and I think this idea of visual illusion could really be played with. It reminded me of Richard Wilson work with oil. 

TIE DYE PARTY

TYE DYE 21ST HOUSE PARTY FOR MY FRIEND AND HOUSE MATE JESS! We decided to make ours costumes from scratch, buying white fabric and dyeing/sewing it ourselves. Forgot how GREAT tie dye is!..the brighter the better! Also with left over dye you can dye/marble paper or card as well which is great for making cards and stuff...
This could look cool on a massive scale too...something to think about in the future, as I do think it is interesting and exciting when you unravel this tiny parcel of material to reveal this psychedelic pattern! I'm sure you could do something cool with that...interactive maybe..?  


This is the video we roughly followed, but basically we just free styled it:

HEY FRIENDS
