Art Fridays: Nacho Ormaechea

Inspired by his safaris in urban jungles, photographer Nacho Ormaechea would sit for hours on park benches just watching people about their daily business within a cosmopolitan context. Each collage illustrate his understanding of not only the strangeness of strangers, but also an immediate inclination to superimpose our own interpretations onto them.

Tired of taking hourly bubble baths to stay cozy in this freezing cold January? To make our internal temperature rise, we love making these charming paper lanterns from fellow fellow. The candle flickering behind the black and white photographs really brings the pieces to life and add an unexpected design flare to your space. DYI directions here!

Cave Fun

More Light to Come is a visually captivating photography show by Italian artist Stefano Bellamoli .  Despite the fact that all images are set in sunless rocky caves, Bellamoli was able to showcase light’s playful and whimsical abilities; bringing light to even the darkest of places. Each image was produced with help from his friends, lamps and long-term exposures of 5-10 minutes.

‘The Projections and Topographic Series Implied Geometries’  by Jim Sanborn

The above images were created by combining both a light projector and long-exposure photography. Sanborn utilized nature’s unassuming beauty found in mountains and coral reefs and repurposed them to be his canvas. Are we the only ones craving a trip back to the South West? We’re really loving this idea!
