Intricate Tree Sculptures Made Of Twisted Single Strands Of Wire

Brixham-based artist and author Clive Maddison sculpted each and every one of these majestic tree creations by twisting single strands of wire into roots, trunks, branches and leaves. What makes these even more amazing is how well-made the structures are – there are no adhesives and no soldering has been done. It’s all wire!

Some of the trees sit on wooden bases made of a variety of tree species, including Yew and American Walnut. Each wire tree looks radically different from the next one, and comes with an explanation of the real trees that they are based on and where the artist got his inspiration. Maddison’s ongoing work with wire pays homage to the vast diversity of the natural world.

New Incredible Laser Cut Paper Art By Eric Standley

Eric Standley, a Virginia-based artist who works with laser-cut paper, creates amazing and awe-inspiring layered paper cuts of extraordinary complexity.

“The reverence for these structures seems to have to do with the infinite,” explains the artist (whom we’ve written about before here). “It’s trying to project something that’s not even human.”

While his work does indeed seem to inspire the same sort of reverence that a massive cathedral or complex mandala might, the origin of his stunning artwork doesn’t seem quite as glorious. The artist says that he decided to explore this technique when he had accidentally discovered a pattern in some cereal boxes he had been working with.

If you find yourself in Arizona, consider swinging by the Mesa Art Center, where his work will be on display as part of the Fold, Paper, Scissors exhibition until August 10th.

Japanese Artist Creates Fun Miniature Dioramas Every Day For 4 Years

When children let their imagination run wild, even their food can become a plaything (much to their parents’ dismay). Tanaka Tatsuya, an artist in

Japan, never lost that wild imagination – he has created a playful tiny diorama every day for the past 4 years out of food and other everyday items and put them into an online calendar.

“Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once,” writes Tatsuya of his “Miniature Calendar” project. “Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats.“
