Awesome Book Sculptures by Bronia Sawyer

UK-based artist Bronia Sawyer creates these unique, beautiful bird and flower-like plumes of color by coloring, folding and rolling the pages of books.

"I love to take something like a book and turning it in to something visually pleasing. With book sculpture I like the fact that books are flat and square they have order but by cutting them and folding them you can create organice and random shapes. I also like to add colours but mainly for the way it looks in photographs."

"I have been creative all my life, I love art. It has been the one thing that has stayed stable when I am happy or sad. It has always been there just waiting silently. I would say that I'm obsessed. I rarely do the same thing twice. Life's too short and I have too many ideas for repetition."

"I strove to create pieces that where different to the ones I had already seen."

"I love the surreal, and find books lend them self well to it. I love stories and the magic of words, and working with them in a different way."

"Pure and simply I love to create. With book sculpture I am fascinated with the infinite ways a flat book can be changed into something magical; something that looks slightly odd because you know what a book is supposed to look like but it has been distorted."

"I often work with dictionaries, due to my dyslexia, but I mostly use fairly old novels that have been stored somewhere damp, as they seem to be the right thickness and a nice, aged yellowed colour."

"I consider the colour, texture and story when choosing a book."

"I often sit for hours folding books. I am not always sure at the start what the finished sculpture will look like. The process is very organic I have a starting idea and then see how it grows."

[link]

"I am inspired by dreams and nightmares, my childhood memories, fairy-tales, nature, and philosophy. My style right now is mainly organic due to the spring flower garden installation I am working on. But, as always, I am always working on a variety of other things too."

Amazing Anamorphic Illusions by Brusspup

YouTube artist Brusspup skews high resolution photos, then films them from the right angle to make them look incredibly realistic.

Brusspup provide the high-res images of the images in his video, so you can try out the trick for yourself.

"You'll have to print the template onto a transparency. If you have an ink jet printer you have to use a special transparency made specifically for ink jet printers. When you print the images and the template make sure to print them all at the same size if any of the sizes change the effect will not work."

Glass Microbiology by Luke Jerram

Artist Luke Jerram makes wonderful glass sculptures that try to capture the beauty of some of the world’s most deadly viruses.

The virus sculptures are approximately 1,000,000 times larger than the actual viruses and are designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol, using a combination of different scientific photographs and models. They are made in collaboration with glassblowers Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch

Created in clear glass, the sculptures are designed for contemplation and to consider how the artificial colouring of scientific imagery affects our understanding of phenomenon.
