Shadow Art created from Junk

British Born Tim Noble and Sue Webster have created these amazing pieces of art from piles of rubbish, with light projected against them to create a shadow image entirely different to that seen when looking directly at the deliberately disguised pile.Pretty amazing stuff.

  1. intriguing stuff.... i like the creative concept and the video presentation of the various art...

    just goes to show not all junk is... trash...

    one of my brother's steps-sons is friends with a nyc artist who has been making art out of junk for some years now... he went with her, and a buncha others, on her latest 'project' to venice..... this one a floating, actually a sailing, work of art... interesting story via new york magazine and ya GOTS to check out the pics..

  4. David, thankyou for yr input .. I read the article and looked at the slide show.. WOW.. truelly amazing. Although, I dont think Id personally like to set sail on one of those Barges (work of art or not!)..BUT if the truth be told I dont relish setting foot on anything that sails (and I married a fisherman..? go figure!)
    Kewl concept.."They’re not interested in expensive green technologies or recycling programs—the point is reuse, to breathe new life into the city’s detritus and build a new, separate world from those remains."

    I found this comment interesting..."If you are too rigid in your ethics, you undo positive action.”...that has really got me thinking about heaps of different issues

    I dont know.. Ive never been a very artistic person. I really admire any form of creativity.

  5. I saw a movie (black & white) many years ago. It was about a mentally handicapped man who would go through the forest and look at logs or large branches and say "there's a boat" or "this is a bird". Then he would pick up the one he chose to release, take it home and start whittling the wood away from the object inside.
    Who would have thought that a pile of junk in the floor could be at the same time art on the wall? I am amazed at what others see and their ability to show it to others.
    I always try to leave some kind of comment to let ppl know I have been to their page but I couldn't think of a clever comment. I was without words.
    Have a good day!
    Hugs~
