David Kukla – the Edge Effect

“In March of 2012, I was awarded an artist’s residency by the United States National Park Service in southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. While staying in the Park, I spent much of my time visiting the borderlands of the park and the areas where the low Sonoran desert meets the high Mojave desert. While hiking and driving, I caught glimpses of the border space created by the meeting of distinct ecosystems in juxtaposition, referred to as the Edge Effect in the ecological sciences. To document this unique confluence of terrains, I hiked out a large mirror and painter’s easel into the wilderness and captured opposing elements within the environment. Using a single visual plane, this series of images unifies the play of temporal phenomena, contrasts of color and texture, and natural interactions of the environment itself.” – Kukla

Lee Price

Cinnamon rolls, grilled cheese sandwiches, jelly rolls, doughnuts, Happy Meals, potato chips – it’s always a pleasure to eat .. whenever, wherever? Although these quirky pieces look just like photographs, they’re actually brilliant oil on linen works by Lee Price. Now I’ve a Happy Meal craving.

Lee Jin Ju

A baby in a bird’s nest in a tree, a tray of cracked eggs on the floor, a girl listening to music while lounging in a drain – there are many things perturbing in these serene, surreal landscapes.

Human Anatomy in the Time Before Photography

This strangely reminds me of an exhibition I saw at the Tokyo MoMA in 2009 that was about sex and the human body, but also had ancient chastity devices alongside the illustrations…

On another note, I wonder how many kids wanted to grow up to be doctors during the day?

Molly Rausch – Stamp Paintings

“Molly Rausch writes, paints, and builds treehouses in New Paltz, New York.
She grew up in Maryland and really enjoys mailing people things. These paintings began 14 years ago with an envelope of foreign stamps from her dad and a small, empty bookbinding project she didn’t know what else to do with.

Each stamp painting begins with an actual postage stamp that is glued down to the paper. Then Rausch paints around the stamp, extending the scene, with watercolor and gouache. As a result, the paintings are quite small – usually around 3 inches tall. Everything is done freehand with a brush; she does not use pens or pencils. She does not paint on the stamp itself. And she does not research the subject, so the extension is completely invented and should not be tested for accuracy.”
