Erica Simmons is an imaginative painter and sculptor who is driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through art. Her works are often noted for their unique and innovative style that focuses on recycling found materials, such as old cassettes and used books.
Zena Holloway started experimenting with the camera at age 18, while she was traveling around the world as a scuba diving instructor. Now, based in London, she shoots for a range of magazines and advertising clients.
Alex Queral does these carved heads out of phone books (then painted with acrylics). In his Artist’s Statement, he says:
I carve the faces out of phone books because I like the three-dimensional quality that results and because of the unexpected results that occur working in this medium. The three-dimensional quality enhances the feeling of the pieces as an object as opposed to a picture.
In carving and painting a head from a phone directory, I’m celebrating the individual lost in the anonymous list of thousands of names that describe the size of the community. In addition, I like the idea of creating something that is normally discarded every year into an object of longevity.
Sergey Bobkov invented a unique technology of making animals from wood chips. He carves the chips into any shape he wants after they were soaked in water for several days.
Sergey turned down more than $17,000 for his Eagle, saying the sculptures are not for sale.
With a background in psychology, Alxander Korzer Robinson‘s art focuses on the notion of the “inner landscape”.
The cut book art has been made by working through the books, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. The images seen in the finished work, are left standing in the place where they would appear in the complete book. As a final step, the book is sealed around the cut, and can no longer be opened.
Using generally discarded materials, these books regain new purpose. They are no longer tools to learn about the world, but rather a mean to gain insight about oneself.
