TASTE THE RAIN
Artist Anna Gillespie - “All these works try to express a moment of connection to nature and this particular piece is about trying to draw the viewer into recalling what it feels like to stand out in the rain and engage their senses.”
Taste the Rain is part of an on going series of work using material that has fallen from trees: acorns, beechnut casings, leaves, bark, sycamore keys

This is my favorite thing today.
Our friends at the Shandanken Project—a residency in the Catskills for emerging and mid-career artists, writers, and curators—are kickstarting their way to new studios and a sustainable garden.

Forest Blending Acrylic Glass Statues
Imagine walking through a forest and seeing just a glimpse of these invisible figures! They’re the creative work of artist Rob Mulholland, who makes these sculptures out of mirrored Perspex (or acrylic glass). It has been called the Predator effect after the 1987 film where an alien life form seamlessly blends into its background. Mulholland has previously installed these chameleon-like figures in the woods around Alloa, Loch Ard and the David Marshall Lodge in Scotland.
Mulholland told BBC Scotland that the key to the effect was creating a distorted reflection. “It alters reality, one moment you see them and the next moment they blend in. There’s an ambiguity to it - it doesn’t answer all the questions.”
Love, the Bus finds (and adds to) the Shwood Nest. Oregon folks, this looks like a fun adventure!
“Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town.”
This is how the Earth treats its traitors, by taking our trash, and turning it back up onto our shores in the form of smooth, beautiful jewels. How forgiving of a mother.
