Pressed flowers sculptures of Ignacio Canales Aracil
Pressed flowers sculptures of Ignacio Canales Aracil. Spanish artist.
/ Source : ThisIsColossal
The art of flower pressing dates back thousands of years; pressed flowers were reportedly discovered in a 3,000-year-old coffin of Tutankhamun’s mother in Egypt, and both Greek and Roman botanists were known to preserve plants using techniques that continue today. But Aracil’s method is a bit different, relying on large cone-shaped molds into which carefully woven patches of hand-picked flower stems are placed. The pieces dry for up to a month without the aid of adhesives and are sprayed with a light varnish to protect the sculpture from moisture. The final pieces, which could be crushed with even the slightest weight, are rigid enough to stand without support.

Craquage total pour l’œuvre très créative de cette artiste !
Un univers frais, coloré et joyeux.
« We speak to animals in their own language. We like materials that tell stories of simple, ideal happiness, and that have been caressed by many hands.
We are inspired by Adam and Eve. The Garden of Eden. temptation. Original sin. The fall of man. Paradise Lost. Deluge. Apocalypse. Noah’s ark. Redemption. Re-birth. Vanities. Veneration.
We Question the dynamics of man vs woman, craft vs industry, of art vs decoration, of man vs animal, of beauty vs ugly, luxury vs cheap. »

« What interests me most about studying animals is identifying the spirit and character of the individual creatures. I try to create a sense of the living, breathing subject in a static 3-D form, attempting to convey the emotional essence without indulging in the sentimental or anthropomorphic »
Recently commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to fabricate thirteen sculptures as part of an exhibition ‘Royal Beasts’ exploring the history of the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London. The work will remain on-site as a permanent installation once the exhibition finishes.
Made from her trademark material, galvanised wire; life-size lions, baboons, a polar bear and an elephant help tell the story of the exotic animals that were a popular tourist attraction at the Tower from the 1100s.

Beautiful and luminous Tree Installation – Tom Price
Inspiration for this installation came from the iconic cherry trees of Washington DC. Tom Price constructed a series of sweeping sculptures out of polypropylene tubing, referencing the shapes of the trees and their blossoms. The result was a unique, immersive and site-specific installation, taking over an entire room of Industry Gallery, Washington DC.
Materials:
Polypropylene tubes, nylon cable ties, ultra fine stainless steel wire rope.

Beautiful whales photography – Darren Jew – Australia
///
Having been inspired to explore a career in nature photography by my father’s travels in Antarctica, I now pursue a passion for capturing and sharing the wonder of the natural world.
After graduating from the Queensland College of Art, I first worked in commercial photography, before taking up a position as photographer with the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service, where I worked for 8 years.
I moved on from that part of my career in 1994 and my work is now published widely in books, magazines and paper products. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph extensively across Australia and in Africa, Alaska, Patagonia and Antarctica and have introduced many people to the world’s great wildlife and landscape destinations first hand, through small group photography tours, predominantly to Africa and Antarctica and the Pacific.

The nature dress & installations Nicole Dextras
The nature dress & installations Nicole Dextras – An environmental artist working with ephemeral materials. (Canada)
News : exposera ses « Mobile Garden Dress » : Jardins, Jardin aux Tuileries Paris, en Juin 2015.
Le concept de « Little Dress Garden » a été créé afin que chaque femme ait au moins un élément dans sa garde-robe qui soit produit de façon durable et équitable. Le projet vise à sensibiliser sur l’impact de l’industrie sur notre environnement et d’offrir une possibilité réaliste de changement en créant une demande pour des meilleures pratiques par le biais des consommateurs.
Pour cette raison, les robes ont été entièrement créée à partir de matières organiques ; » Portez-la et qu’elle se composte ! » est le slogan.
Ce projet se démarque de la « robe noire » omniprésente avec celle qui est véritablement organique : fabriquées à partir de feuilles et de fleurs.
Sa conception est basée sur la robe classique, tout d’abord introduite dans les années 1960 par Coco Channel. Vingt-huit femmes participantes ont été choisies pour leur soutien et leur engagement dans l’éco-mode. Chaque robe a été créée sur mesure par l’artiste à partir de matériaux locaux qui représentent un large échantillon représentatif de femmes de tous âges et de tailles.
Le projet a été présenté à l’exposition Earth Art à Vancouver, Canada (2012) avec 28 robes, chacune drapée sur un socle en bois, et photographiée du début de sa création jusqu’à sa décomposition.

My focus as an artist is to create environmental art and ephemeral installations based on the principles of a socially engaged art practice. The Weedrobes series, which began in 2005 as an experiment in making garments from leaves and flowers has now evolved into a series that also examines consumerism, the fashion industry and the constructed landscape.
The intention of the Weedrobes series is to engage the public on several levels: through street interventions, garden settings and gallery exhibitions. Each new piece begins as a wearable sculpture constructed from local and renewable plant materials. It is then photographed with a model in a landscaped urban setting emphasizing the impact of humans on the natural environment. The third stage consists of a public intervention in a shopping area where the garment wearer engages with passersby regarding issues of disposable consumer goods. The garment/sculpture is later installed in a garden or park setting and left to decompose over time.

Dimensional paper collages – Amy Genser
Dimensional paper collages – Amy Genser / Collages are built from layered, rolled, and cut paper that are adhered to painted surfaces.
Amy Genser plays with paper and paint to explore her obsession with texture, pattern, and color. Evocative of natural forms and organic processes, her work is simultaneously irregular and ordered. She uses paper as pigment and constructs her pieces by layering, cutting, rolling, and combining paper.
The natural world is a clear source for Amy’s work. She is fascinated by the flow of water, the shape of beehives, and the organic irregularity of plants, flowers, rock formations, barnacles, moss, and seaweed. Her pieces bring to mind aerial landscape views, satellite imagery, and biological cellular processes.
Amy’s love affair with paper began in a paper-making class at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received a masters degree in Graphic Design. Amy lives in West Hartford, CT with her husband and three sons, and spends her summers on the beach in Rhode Island.

Tree of Life poster
Tree of Life poster !
The lives of animals revolve around their living space, the rainforest. And since animals are not able to speak for themselves, the destruction of their habitat leaves them suffering in silence.
This unique poster aims to highlight the responsibility we have in letting animal species thrive in their natural environment—we have a choice whether or not to preserve nature and let it grow. Specially designed to assert this crucial message, it forms the basis of social attitudes towards Mother Nature for the many people out there who want to make a difference in our world.

Leigh Taylor Mickelson – Lure albiflora
« My ceramic sculpture explores the different components of self, sexuality and family, and how these components relate and conflict with one another. I use forms from nature, especially ones found in plant life, as a means of expressing these components. Being full of dichotomy, the elements of natural forms act as a metaphor for the spiritual, emotional and physical extremes that exist within our selves, our love relationships and our family units.
The Lure and Botanical Duet series give homage to one of the most recent inspirations for my work: a plant’s will to pollinate. For me, the private “business” of flowering plants reveals a world that mimics human interaction to a fascinating degree. In addition, the forms found inside plants, once magnified, divulge a beauty that is regrettably unseen by the naked eye. In my work, I aim to capture the essence of these organic forms, reveal their beauty, and hence celebrate nature’s will to attract and therefore produce. »
Metamorphoses and combinations sculptures by Leah Brown

« La « mentalité archaïque » est caractérisée par la croyance que les humains peuvent avoir une claire conscience d’eux-mêmes en confrontant à ce qu’est une personne et en même temps à ce qu’elle n’est pas. Cette confrontation, dans de nombreuses cultures, se produit par le rêve ou dans un état illusoire, lesquels projettent le rêveur dans des corps inconnus et des situations.
Les œuvres que je présente ici sont les représentations visuelles de cette idée de transformation et de leurs conséquences, et des tentatives de comprendre visuellement la nature de ma propre réalité .
Les installations sont constituées de restes récupérés sur les routes : coton, paille pour fonder des vêtements et des ordures .
Mes sculptures sont comme les habitants de ces paysages traversés, les personnages y sont des versions métamorphosés. Les « femmes » que je crée sont symboliquement des amalgames d’archétypes féminins et de symboles personnels modifiés, elles sont composés de pièces de fonderie de mes propres parties du corps mélangés avec des objets trouvés et sculptés. Mon intention est de modifier la perception de leur environnement et de les sortir de leurs cadres ordinaires afin de leur donner l’expérience d’être transporté dans un autre monde.
Lorsq’une personne remet en question sa propre réalité, même pour un instant, l’expérience devient inoubliable, et j’ai accompli quelque chose de beaucoup plus important qu’une simple combinaison de matériaux ici. »
Archaic mentality is characterized by the belief that humans can gain a clear consciousness of themselves by confronting what a person is and simultaneously is not. This confrontation, in many cultures, occurs within the dream or in an illusory state, whereby the dreamer projects herself into unfamiliar bodies and situations. The works that I am presenting here are the visual representations of this idea of transformation and consequence, and are attempts at visually understanding the nature of my own reality.
The installations are made up of the American roadside’s leftovers which constitute my personal landscape with everything from cotton and straw to found clothing and trash. The sculptures are like the denizens of these landscape in the way that in dreams, the characters therein are modified versions of the self. The usually female figures I create are symbolically modified amalgams of feminine archetypes and personal symbols, and are composed of castings of my own body parts blended with found and sculpted objects. My intention is to alter my viewers’ perceptions of their surroundings, taking them out of their ordinary frames of mind and giving them the experience of being transported into another world. When a person questions their own reality for even a moment, the experience becomes unforgettable, and I have accomplished something much greater than a mere combination of materials.
