Claire Oswalt

These moveable wooden dolls by artist Claire Oswalt are like paper dolls on steroids! The muted tones and light illustrating hand make you really focus on the shapes presented. And I’m so happy she went with multiples in the pieces. One would still be incredible but when grouped they almost take on a semi-creepy clone vibe which I love. (via the Jealous Curator)

Daré alla Lucé

 

 

 

Ethereal. Ghostly. Surreal. Daré alla Lucé is all of these things and more to the casual observer. I love this series of slightly altered photos by artist Amy Friend.

“Through small deliberate interventions, I altered these vintage images, allowing light to pass through them. (After all, photographs are made possible with light.) In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Daré alla Lucé, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.”
