Christina Augustesen creates "daylight sculptures" to evoke colours of sunset

Visual artist Christina Augustesen used acrylic lamellas to create a series of colourful sculptures, with hues that change depending on how the light hits them, for the 3 Days of Design festival in Copenhagen.

Her artworks, which the artist calls "daylight sculptures", feature a clear base and a colourful top made...

Elaborate Kené Patterns by Sara Flores Continue an Ancient Indigenous Tradition

In the Peruvian Amazon, the Shipibo-Konibo people (sometimes also spelled Shipibo-Conibo) have made their home around the verdant Ucayali River basin for millennia. Their visual culture is richly informed by their belief systems and the environment in which they live, where foraged clay, wild cotton, and plants used to make pigments have sustained a steadfast artistic tradition known as Kené.

Derrick Lin Plays with Light and Scale in Emotive Photos of Miniature Dioramas

A figure carrying a small suitcase crosses the gangplank onto an ocean liner. A woman stands amid a city street, waiting for a tram. And a man in a fedora heads toward historic steps in what is perhaps a European city. Yet if you look a little closer, you’ll see the roofs resemble milk cartons. The tram rolls in amid books stood on end. And in the distance beyond the docked ships… a giant coffee mug?

Since 2013, Derrick Lin has created miniature dioramas on his desk. Hand-painted figures inhabit settings constructed from cardboard and found objects, often with a nostalgic...
