OH MANDY!

Found this through Itsnicethat. Since feeling good about my own efforts of creating the house in animation I'm doing... This made me feel a bit like I wanted to curl up and die. She's amazing, check out this wonky house... It's by Mandy Smith. She's one of these people who you just want to kill, she's done music videos, designed furniature and can create something as techinical and amazing as this. It's one thing to produce mixed media work but to do all to such a standard just winds me up. Extremely inspiring. Her website is pretty shocking though... needs a new one.

This is made from PAPER.

EYE UP!

Model making at it's best! PHWOARRRRRR!

CHUNK OF JUNK

SPACE IN THE FACE

My tea tastes funny...hmm

Rodchenko, an artist from slightly before the era i've focussed most of my research on but still is the resounding inspiration from the Bauhaus, Nevil Brody, Kraftwerk, & even Alfred Hitchcock! Also, his works represent Constructivism holds a large place in Russian cultural history.

I've come across his work a lot in the past but never really the sculptural side of things. I've been far too wrapped up in his photomontage and poster work. I found this work of his whilst scouring the Library after countless "Russia" searches on the library catalogue. After moving away from constructing my own set for an animation this put my right back on that route! I think if I were to create any kind of a set it would be a little abstract and use inspiration from these Spatial Construct's by Rodchenko...








These especially would work really well, to maybe represent the space station in which Laika in sputnik 2 would be launched from...

Janine Rewell

This is a piece of Janine Rewell called Dolls house. I love it - it's a really good example of how to photograph and make miniatures well!

Anyway, she's good is Janine....

MINIATURE GOODNESS!

I found this work on a blog called Brinja. It's amazing. She's made her whole home in miniature form. It's all perfectly detailed.

This is something i'd like to have a go at, as in creating my own set for the animation.



It's hard to even tell which is the real photo and which is the miniature version.
