Art out of a single piece of paper

Came across this art by Peter Callesen - absolutely fabulous. Doesn't it just want you to have a go. This is the kind of art that looks so simple but is incredibly complex.

Sculptures from recycled plastic

I first came across fiftyRx3 through Karin's style blog (which I love) and they have a recent post showing hanging sculptures by Aurora Robson. They look like huge jelly fish floating in space. Having just spent the morning retrieving my recycling from the garden after a windy night they are inspirational, makes you look differently at a plastic milk carton.

Art conference

I spent a great day at Falmouth College of art yesterday on an art teachers conference. I am normally chained to a computer and photoshop at the studio and very rarely have a chance to be freely expressive - I actually find it difficult in my old age to just let myself go. I have been working in the design field for 20 years - where you need a reason for every decision. I must admit I felt a little out of place as the rest of the teacher were fine artists. But I held my own. It gave me some great ideas for some teaching resources, on line and proportion which I think have value for both designers and artists
