I wish I could give credit to who inspired me to make this rock ant, but it's one of those instances where cruising the net I saw an image for a few seconds and I moved on. They had made a wire wrapped caterpillar and far superior to what I've done here. However I wasn't trying to copy it or make a masterpiece. I was sitting in the garden playing with bits and bobs and thought it would be fun to make a found art piece for the Yellow Springs Arts Council October art stroll event at the Hip Joint in Yellow Springs.If any of you readers are in the area there is a call for artists to submit work, just check out the YSArts Blog.
Talking about found art. I always like to pop into Rosa Murillo's Found Art Tuesday page. I just love the art left in a Dallas Airport, very cool. I really like the statements her art makes, as well as the quality of the work :)
If you enjoy looking at artists who use objects in nature/environmental art then Andrew Goldsworthy is one of the best. Here is a wee video showing his frustration with a piece he was working on and a link showing a couple of examples of his work.
LOCAL NEWS: Really excited about this. Two local filmmakers in Yellow Springs, Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar, won an emmy for their film "A Lion in the House". Story is in the YS news.
