Julien Carretero - To be continued

Nice process of casting from/on the original perfect cast, then from/on that cast...repeat, allowing the imperfections in the casting process to dictate the form. Check out the "to be continued rewound" video on his site.

Thought this place was amazing, it's like a piece of Glacier has floated down the river and got wedged here.
Generates enough power for 3000 homes apparently...

Reminded me of Zaha Hadid's Sand Dune inspired furniture which are interesting but I think these amorphous work better on a larger scale.

Cascade - Atelier van Lieshout

I just saw this and thought I would post this for purely pesonal reasons. I worked in Rotterdam for a while and I often cycled by this sculpture by Atelier Van Lieshout an thought it was interesting. I just saw a blog post of it from 5th March 2010 saying it was going up in Rotterdam the next day, turns out we arrived in Rotterdam on the same day. I'm sure this isn't interesting for most people...

I suppose it's quite "dark" really and as the Dezeen post said "evokes associations with the current economic crisis, the exhaustion of raw materials and the bankruptcy of the consumer society" but for me it can't help having a humourous quality, the figures look like Morph...

My new Website

New work is not long off!

Here is a little sneaky view of something I've been doing...

It is honestly more than just a cushion...

I just saw this and remembered I had seen some work by this designer in London this year, I really like it. Using veneer and copperplating, both usually just used for decorative purposes but here also structural. Ended up with some really organic looking objects, especially the copper growths. The overal organic, kind of wobbly look reminds me a little of some Maarten Baas work.
