Lovely watch sculptures…

Dominick Wilcox created watch sculptures for Dezeen Space at the London Design Festival. He says, “The miniature figure on the second hand moves around constantly and the figure on the minute hand appears stationary. I spent time thinking about the relationship between the two people, how one passes another repeatedly and I tried to think about when that situation happens in real life or in an imagined scenario.”

ARTS & CRAFTS// A Flock of Cranes.

Every once in a while I like to paint neutral pieces to decorate my house.  I mean, why buy a print when I can paint it myself?  My living room was painted with sea foam stripes last year, and aside from various pieces of matching furniture, the room lacked a unifying secondary color.  I decided that the complementary color to these stripes were going to be an ocher or a mustard yellow, so I set about planning a painting for the blank space between the boudoir and the TV.  

What I decided to do was paint miniature flowers all over a large sheet of cardboard-  kind of like a wall paper.  I started painting from the right hand corner in a custom mixed yellow, and a few hours later, realized that the yellow flowers seemed 1) kind of girly and 2) a bit boring.  So I changed it up and made it into a sort of gradient starting with yellow flowers and ending with brick colored flowers at the bottom.  

I wanted a flock of birds flying over the flowers in a silhouette but as I started thinking about this concept, my mind started shifting toward a more creative approach:  what if the flock of birds were origami cranes?  

By day three, my painting finally came to fruition-  those flowers took over 12 hours to paint, and I am so glad I am done.
