Simon Schubert

I chose to present Simon Schubert's work because I find the ghostly quality very intriguing.  He uses such flat material and gives it a rich and deep sense of texture and dimension.  Born in Germany, Schubert is inspired by architecture and mundane situations which he depicts through folded paper.

Olivia Bee

19 year old Olivia Bolles (Olivia Bee) is a photographer living in in Portland, Oregon. She expresses herself creatively through photography. She has shot add campaigns for Nike, Adidas, Hermes, Fiat, and Converse. She directed her first commercial shoot for Converse when she was only 15. Olivia draws inspiration from the people and relationships around her.

Willard Wigan

Willard Wigan creates microscopic sculptures that sit within the eye of a needle or pin head. Creating these sculptures is a long and painstaking process. Wigan literally works in between his heartbeat (while holding his breath), and has accidentally inhaled or blew his work away. He started his career in microscopic art when he built houses for ants as a child. Wigan is completely self taught and uses materials such as stray fibers, and the hair off a dead fly to create his art.

Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood, from the UK, revolutionized the fashion industry with her style. She controversially wore and created “rebellious” clothes for the time period, as the hippie movement was in full swing in the late 1960’s. She designed clothing with zips and black leather, inspired by bikers. I have loved her style since I saw images of her 1977 punk collection. Her clothing was crazy and different, which is what made her such a great designer and fashion icon. 

some really rad photography by Nick Veasey (definitely worth the time to check him out completely) http://www.nickveasey.com/#

I discovered Nick's work through my physics class last week. We are learning about light and waves so it is relevant because this guy takes photography with X-Ray light rather than the normal visible light that standard cameras use. Crazy right. Like I said, its definitely worth checking out all of his work (I only included 1 piece per project of his ----> http://www.nickveasey.com/#) and also read about how its done. I personally enjoy it because the images are so much richer, perplexing, intriguing, surreal..etc from the vantage point that X-Ray light adds.
