Shio – Otherworldly Lights

Author: | Categories: Art No comments
I am fascinated by techniques that involve 'growing' structures using unattended processes. It's probably because I grew up in the eco-seventies and we were all to be living in bio-engineered domes with living real grass carpeting by now!  Artist Daniel MacDonald's strongly suggests those same forms and leaves me both nostalgic

New art by Aaron Ristau

Author: | Categories: Art, Steampunk No comments
Back in October Meredith visited briefly with Aaron Ristau at Maker Faire Austin. Aaron is a sculptor who works primarily with found bits of technological detritus, from his website: Technology surrounds us. Products are obsolete within an ever decreasing amount of time, putting an increasing strain on our ability

Art Donovan’s Stunning Shiva Mandala

Author: | Categories: Art, Steampunk No comments
I had the honor of sharing space in a gallery show with Art last year in the Hamptons.  I've long admired his Steampunk lamps and I particularly like that his work often incorporates elements that are reminiscent of pulp science fiction cover art – there's always a touch of

Gianni Fanelli: Dream of iron

Author: | Categories: Art, Steampunk No comments
From Social Design Zine in Italy comes this article about sculptor and metalworker Gianni Fanelli.  It appears to be a review of the artist’s recent show and the reviewer clearly liked what they saw – at least that’s sure what it looks like to me viewing the Google translated

Stonybrook Fine Arts- DIY space in Boston

Author: | Categories: Art No comments
I’ve been chillaxing for awhile now in Boston. It’s very unusual that I stay in a place for more than 3 nights, and I’ve been here 3 weeks. The reason for my extended stay is Stonybrook Fine Arts, a bad-ass DIY space, classroom, metal shop. This is exactly the

The Ordinator: Slighty Baffling but Beautiful Sculpture

Author: | Categories: Art No comments
I’m not entirely sure what I am looking at here, but the ‘Ordinator‘ by Flickr user Imajilon is a pretty sexy bit of workmanship. It’s like some weird steampunk/psychedilic milkshake. I want to pull the levers and run my hands over the grill; expecting electrical shocks and vision quests.
