Amy Judd paints collections of sensitive silent moments; some full of whimsical intrigue, others more surreal and seductive. These paintings draw inspiration from the enchanting and imaginative relationship between women and nature found in traditional mythologies and folklores.


The composition, light and positioning of the subject, creates curious images, which conjure up new “mythological” narratives or creatures within the paintings. For Amy Judd a recurring theme is the use of Feathers as armour, and birds as familiars. The more surreal nude compositions are bold and strong, the feathers allude to strength, flight and bravery, rather than fragility.

Anonyme a demandé: why do europeans degrade plywood so much?

archatlas:

Not sure, maybe because plywood is still associated with “cheap wood”, maybe is the edge that once its damaged cannot be properly repaired or maybe the aesthetics of the grain.

Maybe one of these projects can change someone’s opinion about this material:

ryanpanos a demandé: Hello there! Do you have any experience with perforated metal as a screening device? Does it have measurable performance benefits in terms of blocking sunlight, maybe reducing heat gain, if a curtain wall is behind the perforated metal. Ive visited the DeYoung but do you know of any other examples of metal screens in front of glazing? As always thanks for the never ending effort you place into your corner of architecture.

archatlas:

Thanks, a compliment like that from someone I hold in high esteem is most welcomed. 

Perforated metal screen can noticeable reduce sunlight directly hitting the glass surface and depending on screen and glass could reduce heat gain. Here is a selection of examples chosen because each addresses the metal screen in a different or unique way. Hope they provide some inspiration.

From The Inside Of The New Digital Art Museum In Tokyo 

These incredible photos show what it looks like inside a groundbreaking new digital art museum in Japan. A trip to the Mori Building Digital Art Museum: teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, which opened last week, can make you feel like they you are dreaming and aims to fully immerse visitors in the art.

Spanning a spacious 10,000 square metres, 520 computers and 470 high-tech projectors create the illusion that the visitor is wandering through rice fields, following shoals of fish or even bouncing on a galaxy of planets.

Magnifique
