FRAGMENT #4
SUMO
Jamie Salmon is a hyper realistic sculpture. He used to make sculptures
for movies. His work is very impressive. The extreme detail he paints
onto his sculptures is breathtaking. I can not imagine how much time is
put into each one of his pieces. The sculptures are made of silicone,
resin, hair, and fabric. These should have more recognition then they
do. This is a gift to be this talented at detail.

RAGAZZA SINISTRA
Demetz is a wood carver. I wish I was him. Again I love his
craftsmanship. I love that everything is so perfect but yet he still has
chunks and pieces missing from his sculptures. They are all children
but they are all have their own creepy styles to them. I like that his
sculptures don't have a classical style. I can't pick what style it is
but usually people try to represent some kind of classical style in
their work. These are great I don't have any problems with these. The
wood ones are very cool. I want to learn how to do this.

JUDSON BEAUMONT
STRAIGHT LINE DESIGNS
BURNT TABLE
CANNED BENCH
TEAR AWAY CRADENZA
CRASH CABINET
BAD TABLE
These furniture designs are very witty. These would be nice to come home
to every night. I don't think I would ever get tired of them, and they
are unique. The designer is Judson Beaumont. He has his own workshop and
his own full time craftspeople. I enjoy the more adult designed
furniture. I went through there site and they have a lot of children
designs..... Blahhhhh. It got boring from there. But these ideas are
genuine and full of excellent design.

DAN WEBB
RUNNER
DESTROYER
THE PUTTI TRAP
SHROUD
SLEEPER
Dan Webb's wood work is so extraordinary. If I had the tools and time,
this would be the work I would want to do. I love that he takes wood and
uses it as an actual piece of material. Usually you would see wood as a
furniture element. I love this. The pillow looks soft the shoe looks
like I could put my foot in it. There isn't even anything I don't like
about this. Super cool.

HERB WILLIAMS

FIRST NUDE

UNWANTED VISITOR: PORTRAIT OF A WILDFIRE
No Title
I
enjoy Williams idea of staying with one type of material. I have always
wanted to make a project with an already made object. The crayons are
genius in my opinion. Not only the crayons but his craft, the way he
blends his colors and his craft is perfect. But... I don't think that
his work where he copies an exact object works very well. It looks great
but his work where he is more expressive like the fire has so much more
impact. The blending of colors and use of angles on the fire piece is
his best work yet I believe. I chose this artist mainly because of the
use of one material. I really enjoy that idea, but maintaining its
boundaries is key.

GROTE KROONLUCHTER
What I like about Sloonweg's work is that all of it has history to it. He uses all of these old industrial metals that have sat for years, and has now given them a new life as a practical furniture piece. The idea of recycling and practical use makes his furniture rare and almost limited one of a kinds. Everything is rusty and dirty but it all has so much character. His craftsmanship is exactly what meets my standards. I want to have his drive of perfection. What I don't really care for though is the glass he uses for his lights. I don't hate them but I think a smoky or fogged out glass that you would see on old industrial buildings would look better. But that is just me and it doesn't even make a dent on what I think of his work collectively.
