I would be so happy if I walked by and saw this in action. Will watch the video many times instead!

Shadow Profile Art Project
A fascinating project: FRAGMENTS by Kumi Yamashita.
“FRAGMENTS consists of resin tiles which cast the shadow profiles of 40 New Mexican residents of different backgrounds and ethnicities... It is both testament and celebration of the people whose names may never make it into the history books or history museums, but who definitely make up the rich fabric of life in a pueblo, city, county, and state."
A tighter shot of some of the faces shows the nuance involved.
Remarkable! Would love to see this in person in the permanent collection of the New Mexico History Museum.
Kudos to Kumi Yamashita for the beautiful executed idea.
(Thanks to Dayna for the tip!)

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Portraits
Wow. These wire portraits by Seung Mo Park are phenomenal.
Wire mesh is layered together and then slowly cut away bit by bit to form the large scale individual portrait.
Amazing.

Yellow Wonder
Another thing I like about San Francisco: you can walk down the street in this wonderful yellow contraption and it seems like it was meant to be.
Yay color! Yay super crafty folk! Yay balloons in action!
