Kate MccGuire is creating stunning sculptures and installations using Pigeon feathers.  The many layers of intricately placed feathers bring her sculptures to life.

The Walking Kinetic Sculpture of Theo Jansen

Living somewhere between kinetic sculpture and conceptual robotics, Theo Jansen’s creations are just as visually interesting as they are from a functional perspective.  Since I first featured Theo Jansen on Today in Art, there have not been many new photos added.  Recently, new photos of Jansen and his creatures have been uploaded.  This is exciting and I can’t wait to see where he goes with his work.

Sculpture by Joshua Callaghan

The One Hundred Year Anniversary Commemorative Ford Model-T Lamp and Alarm Clock

The One Hundred Year Anniversary Commemorative Ford Model-T Lamp and Alarm Clock - brass beds, lamps, clocks, hardware, carpet

Joshua Callaghan has a body of work that is always on the move, working with many materials and methods to create his sculpture. His images applied to public utility boxes is the first work that caught my eye. I loved how “camouflaging” these ordinary eyesores made them more noticeable and intriguing.

The Orderly Sculptures of Michael Johansson

Tetris - FACT Liverpool, 2009 Objects from the storage room at FACT Liverpool.

Tetris - Objects from the storage room at FACT Liverpool. Dimensions: 2 x 3,2 x 1,5 m

Michael Johansson’s sculptures are so tightly compact and organized that the individual items begin to lose their identity. At first glance I think I see and understand all of the element.  But, after a longer look I find a shape I did not recognize is a chair, a coffee mug etc.
