Brian's Origami Page
As an artist, I am particularly drawn to Origami because it adds the extra challenge of folding from a square (and I like challenges, sometimes) and incorporates a lot of geometry, which was my more favored sector of mathematics.While I think there are a lot of cool money folds, I almost never fold money because 1) it's pretty dirty most of the time 2) I'm cheap and want to spend the money instead, and I doubt a cashier would happily accept a dollar fold and 3) money is small. I might be willing to fold a dollar bill, if dollars were a meter square.
Enjoy the Origami Page by Master Brian Chan.

Hyungkoo Lee - Animatus
Tick, Trick and Track ??
In "Animatus" the Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee executes a detailed anatomy research on non-existing animals. The result is a strange resemblance with famous cartoons characters, such as Bugs Bunny, Wile E Coyote and Road Runner, Donald Duck and Tom & Jerry. Those skeletons are constructed with a hybrid mix of real animal bones and using also synthetic materials to visualize their possible anatomical structures.

Dale Chihuly: The Glassmaster
Dale Chihuly is most frequently lauded for revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement by expanding its original premise of the solitary artist working in a studio environment to encompass the notion of collaborative teams and a division of labor within the creative process. However, Chihuly's contribution extends well beyond the boundaries both of this movement and even the field of glass: his achievements have influenced contemporary art in general. Chihuly’s practice of using teams has led to the development of complex, multipart sculptures of dramatic beauty that place him in the leadership role of moving blown glass out of the confines of the small, precious object and into the realm of large-scale contemporary sculpture. In fact, Chihuly deserves credit for establishing the blown glass form as an accepted vehicle for installation and environmental art beginning in the late twentieth century and continuing today.

Klockwerks
Roger Wood creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be a consistent element of his work, it’s often secondary to its creation. Whether it’s a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage, Wood thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriquing. He is a devoted collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a history.Playful, wondrous timepieces emerge that take flight on cherubic wings, float and sway on fine wires, or appear frozen mid-explosion with flying springs and cogs that bounce at the touch.

Books Morph into Sculpture
Artist Brian Dettmer "dissects" books, cutting into their pages with an X-Acto knife. Meanwhile, James Clearly transplants anatomical illustrations from old medical textbooks into his collages.
So what better place to exhibit their art than the International Museum of Surgical Science?
"It's kind of like a dream come true," Cleary said with a laugh.

Junk into Art
| I create animal sculptures using various "found metal" objects like old watches, sprockets, nuts and bolts. The stranger the piece of metal the better, since the end goal is an eye-catching, fascinating amalgamation of metal with odd nooks and crannies you can explore for hours. |
|
I start by welding a frame to make the general shape. Then I weld or braze the metal objects one at a time, to form the outer shell of the sculpture.
| I use a "blending" technique that leaves no space between the objects, so the sculpture looks solid. This allows me to hide interesting objects all over each piece, which enhances the excitement of discovery. Some of the works are mounted on a hardwood base that I finish with natural oil.
