“Contact”

Japanese art collective has realized a large-scale installation of choppy ocean water, titled ‘Contact’, as part of the Mori Art Museum’s sixth iteration of their Roppongi Crossing series of exhibitions.The hyper-realistic artwork suspends stormy ocean swell within the confines of a small room. A window behind the work lets natural light flood in, and as the sun moves throughout the day, the ripples appear to slightly shift in form. Consequently, the piece plays on the viewer’s perception, glistening from different angles. A statement by the collective explains that the trio work with themes that “manipulate perceptions of the physical world”, whereby their installations aim to “provoke awareness of the inherent unreliability and uncertainty in the world around us”. ‘Contact’ demonstrates just this: the ocean’s oscillating balance of power and fragility. By capturing the tumultuous nature of ocean currents in such acute detail, Mé indeed brings our attention to the uncertain future of Earth’s oceanic waters.

Can I eat this? Label Reading Woes instantloss.com

I didn’t just wake up one day, a walking ingredient dictionary, with intuitive knowledge on the best way to eat for my body.  Label reading takes practice, research, and a willingness to learn new things. It’s a skill that you develop, that can be quite overwhelming at first. When I made the choice to simplify […]

The Art of Jonathan Edward Guthmann

Jonathan Edward Guthmann is an Australian artist working in a variety of mediums. His preferred technique is intaglio printmaking, a traditional method that involves making incisions into a sheet of metal, often with the use of corrosive liquids that bite into the surface, leaving a network of incised lines. These lines are then used to hold ink and with the aid of a large press, the resulting image is transferred onto dampened paper. Jonathan also works with pigmented inks, charcoal, graphite, conte and oil paints, often mixing these mediums with a unique approach to create distinctive works. He also has an academic background in theology, an area of research he is very passionate about and which greatly influences his creative life.
