Chung Kwang Young

Korean abstract artist Chung Kwang young uses natural dyes and handmade mulberry paper to create his sculptures. He began working on his Aggregation series in the mid 1990s. Chun extracted the papers from old books and wrapped it around thousands of polystyrene triangles. Creating large meteoric installations looking cracked and weathered.
Chung Kwang Young on mulberry paper: “I think the thing I first saw [as a child] was my mother’s face, and then there was mulberry paper. This paper is not just for writing and drawing, but is like the spirit and soul of Koreans.”

Jim Kazanjian

Not taking any photographs himself, is Jim Kazanjian an architect or a collage artist? One of his quotes:"I think of the work as a type of mutation which can haphazardly spawn in numerous and unpredictable directions."
Driven by the source material he uses up to 50 different pictures (found on the internet) in his imaginary architectural works.

Michael Shindler's one of a kind tintypes are absolutely stunning. In an age of digital photography tintype and wet plate collodion photography has seen a revival of late. The shallow depth of field and a special process makes these portraits exceptionally beautiful.

Zimoun

Zimoun loves mechanical rhythm and architecture. His sound sculptures are a combination of simple, raw materials and mechanical element. He explains his obsession, saying; “from a very early age I was fascinated and somehow obsessed by being active in all these fields; sound, music and visually realized projects. Now, through my sound sculptures and installations many of these interests are coming together.”
