Enchanted world of Rebekah Bogard sculptures. (USA)
Rebekah Bogard started drawing animals when she was growing up in Wyoming, and she never stopped, not even as a grad student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
“I enjoy utilizing animals because they are beautiful and mysterious creatures, vulnerable to relations with humans. This susceptibility gives them a sense of benevolence that is often lacking in human associations….Some pieces look cute, sweet and innocent, but upon closer inspection, one realizes that the piece is conceptually more complicated. They may be read simultaneously as happy-go-lucky as well as melancholic and out of place. I blend the beautiful with the sad, fantasy with reality, idealism with truth as well as the sexual with the innocent.”
Collodion ambrotype wet plate photography – Alex Timmermans (Hollande)
« I always have been fascinated by photography.
But with the introduction of the digital camera it all became too easy, too predictable …to me.
So I forced myself to go back to the roots of real analog photography.
Not just by making the photograph itself, but by controlling the entire photographic process. »
This brought me back to the middle of the 19th century, to the amazing Collodion wet plate process.
And every single day I feel challenged to refine and improve myself.

Sophie Ryder sculpteur.
Né à Londres, en 1963. La plupart des sculptures de Sophie Ryder sont des créatures mythiques, mi-humains mi-animaux. Sa pièce la plus connue est le lièvre Dame, un lièvre avec un corps humain de sexe féminin.. Les sentiments et les émotions sont directement reliés à l’artiste elle-même. Elle utilise des animaux pour explorer les émotions humaines et montrant que les sentiments peuvent être lus. « Le Dame Lièvre m’est venue lorsque je cherchais un compagnon pour le Minotaure. Je voulais un corps de femme avec une tête d’animal et la tête de lièvre semblait fonctionner parfaitement. Elle est généralement accompagnée par un Minotaure, d’un chien ou d’un cheval, et plus récemment seule. l’apparence a également changé et il y a quelques années, la tête est devenue plus définie comme un masque pour montrer plus clairement qu’elle est un sous-homme. »
Sophie Ryder was born in London, England, in 1963. She studied Combined Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts where, while obtaining her diploma in painting, she was encouraged by fellow artist to develop her sculpture. Inspired by Picasso, Goya and Henry Moore, she famously developed the Lady Hare as a counter part to Ancient Greek mythology’s Minotaur.
