Kinetic sculptures, hummingbirds in flight, and miniature dream worlds. View this email in your browser Luminescent Sculptures by Shih Chieh Huang Reference the Spectacular Attributes of Deep Sea Creatures Taiwanese artist Shih Chieh Huang produces day-glow sculptures that illuminate, expand, and deflate—creating a whirling light show that both excites and relaxes the mind.   Follow Nectar-Hungry Birds as They Soar Through New Automated Flip Books by Juan Fontanive Artist Juan Fontanive constructs ornithology-oriented flip books which constantly loop with the help of a few hand-built mechanics. The still images are sourced from 18th and 19th-century natural history illustrations, and when combined imitate the motion of a bird in flight.   From the Archive: Miniature Environments and Relief Sculptures Incorporated into Stones and the Backs of Animals by Song Kang Portland-based artist and illustrator Song Kang creates miniature works that are dream-like environments and houses, many built on backs of animals like oxen and camels. Kang likes to imagine these sculptures as visual scavenger hunts, and often inserts even tinier occupants that sit and stand around her micro-cities.   Copyright © 2019 Colossal, all rights reserved.
