“Artist Portrait” project is a peek into the lives of creatives. How and where do they create? What inspires them? What are their philosophical stands and ideas on life? Let’s meet them! This video was the start of “Artist Portrait” project. A short representation of the summer art residency 2017 at Ideas Block.
In the beginning of January we had a poem collage workshop at our creative space. The participants created some great collages and here are the results: “Drawing on abstract quotes from popular media the collage is both a critique and a social encouragement. It criticizes the notion of indifference as a social phenomenon […]
Usually I’m not very interested in the worldwide trends, or something that is happening extensively, because most of the time it’s too closely related to massive production, has a strong odour of simple consumerism, is very predictable and far away from the true innovation. But today I’m totally immersed into a trend that not only […]
Right now I have quite a few things that I would like to share with you here, but in-between holidays, future planing and other little jobs, writing gets slightly behind the rest of the things. However, I still have a week to do as much writing as I can before we move to the other side of the […]
It is fascinating how the smallest details, patterns and textures intertwine and repeat in the world around us. Each structure resembles another one. We, ourselves, are a smaller repetition of a bigger picture, just like structures of trees or rivers. Who we are and what we create becomes an integral part of nature, a complex net of patterns. […]
Today on the blog we have an opportunity to get an insight into the creative world of a fibre artist and photographer Summer Moore. She creates unique handwoven jewellery pieces in her New York based studio, under the brand name Lesh. Initially Summer’s interest in fibre arts was inspired by antique Andean textiles seen in Peru, later influenced by the […]
You might think that is a weird thing to say, but I just love natural dyes! Maybe it is not so odd if you consider that I am a textile designer, so my mind is always filled with ideas about colours, patterns, textures, materials and, of course, dyes. I am happy to find designers experimenting with alternative ways […]
I don’t know about your new year, but mine is starting with some rain. I know that for many of us rainy days are quite slow and sleepy, whenever it is possible we try to avoid getting wet and cold. For that reason I was looking for an inspiration that would embrace the rainy weather. […]
I just discovered something great and had to share it with you all. This time I am admiring some beautiful photographic creations, in particular, a series of photographs called ’Impermanence’ by Seung-Hwan Oh. The collection is inspired by the second law of thermodynamics and explores the ideas of temporal dimension, disappearance and disintegration. ’Impermanence’ is expressed through microbiological practise, where a film […]
Ceramic Artist Andrea Roman, working under the name AR Ceramics, makes beautiful and unique hand thrown ceramic pieces, inspired by sand, mud, dirt and soil. The artist takes care to combine different textures in her work, such as the coarseness of a sandy clay with the smooth glazed surfaces. Have a look at Andrea’s website, to […]
Now it is the time of the year when we can enjoy the longest hours of sunshine and fill ourselves with high amounts of energy it offers. Just a few days ago we had the Summer Solstice. And tonight in many countries there is a celebration dedicated to this event, a beautiful celebration worshipping Nature. For this reason […]
