Dim it a Gear - GearShade


"Gearshade, featuring a lampshade made up of small gears, is an intricate web of mechanical components that are so interconnected they become decorative filigree. The rotaion of one gear could act as a light dimmer, controlling the amount of light emitted by the lamp.
Part of  "Dream Makers" Exhibition in The Israel Museum, Jerusalem"

Invitation to: An Intimate Geography


"Lahd Gallery London is proud to premiere AbdulAziz Al Qahtani: An Intimate Geography, a solo exhibition by celebrated Saudi photographer artist Abdulaziz Al Qahtani.

In a never-revealed-before exposé of social taboos, Al Qahtani will show a series of taboo inspired photographs for the very first time in London and the exhibition promises to be an exciting exploration of taboos in contemporary Middle Eastern society.

Employing a broad spe
ctrum of captivating visuals, Al Qahtani illustrates the relationship and interaction between Middle Eastern women and Western societies. The categorisationof taboos will be challenged and any such boundaries broken down. We all know that taboos are society’s way of labeling and informing, and how often they are used to conceal an underlying truth. Even when contemporary standards of social decorum are brought into question, any such categorisationis futile as societies are not static, but rather fluid across time and space.

The exhibition provides the opportunity for thorough self-examination and critique. It traces one artist’s fascination with social taboos and provokes questions about the complexities of contemporary Middle Eastern society. Seen together, the controversial photographs comprise a kind of societal portrait, but only from a different perspective.

AbdulAziz Al Qahtani: An Intimate Geography shows why taboos may in fact be the only way for us to learn and rediscover our true human nature."

Skull obsession continues

 
The thing about skulls is that we as humans will never get over it.  It's part of a human obsession even if it means we carry an imitation of it on our necks, fingers or bags.  
This is my newest piece from Peter Lang to add to my collection.

Tastes of Sweet Memories

Henri not only amazes me with his poetic photography (yes it's very true) and deep quotes, he continues to bring life to the bakery goods @ Guam Bakery.

1910's Contemporary

Unique Form of Continuity in Space, Umberto Boccioni, 1913
I chose the 1910's decade for inspiration to Menswear because I didn't know much about the time period.  Looking at late Cubism art and the Futurist ideas made this decade rather contemporary than dated.
