Spotlight: 2d to 3d magic

'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa' from "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"; done 1823-29 is a singularly famous image from the Japanese artist Hokusai. It seems to rush forward in 3d off the page.. you feel the energy and the depth of that water whilst viewing it from only one 2d angle...

So below is a piece of prop making mastery.. capturing that wave and creating into 3d display that has all the joy and realism of the true wave. The precision of that vision and construction are flawless and you wish that this was a piece of sculpture for your home, not just a temporary display in a shop front.



Again, Hats off the VM's.

Musings: ideas vs budget

Today i spent $90 AUD on 900 chocolate gold coins.These are going to create a playful window about the gold and silver Miu Miu shoes we have in at the moment.. rich rich rich... its crazy but i think the lack of budget keeps you more concerned on what to do in the window as an idea rather than purely focussed on the sleek end product.. it invites play and an obscure way of looking at things.
I'll post the pic of the window as its done tomorrow and then have a chat about if its been successful or not:) comments welcome!
