Stunning sculptures by Kohei Nawa:
“By covering surface of an object with transparent glass beads, the existence of the object itself is replaced by “a husk of light”, and the new vision “the cell of an image” (PixCell) is shown.

Written Portraits
Scott Campbell, Noblesse Oblige
Back again on Scott Campbell, this skull on show at his Noblesse Oblige personal exhibition is stunning!!!!
“Campbell expands his use of cut currency, sourcing uncut sheets of dollars directly from the United States Mint, to create large, intricate work with a sunken relief effect. One piece uses $11,000 worth of currency sheets to create an over two-foot cube, into which a three dimensional skull is carved-out.”
