For some reason, I am so interested in artist that take everyday items and create a piece of work out of them. This sculpture is cut up newsprint, with other different kinds of magazines then put together to create a gorgeous flower. It is so simple, yet it looks so beautiful

Flowers



I really like these two large sculptures because they are made out entirely of flowers and plants. Instead of these pieces of art work being a different material, and shaped into flowers; these sculptures are flowers shaped into different things. They are rather colorful and beyond interesting to look at. That is what makes them so enjoyable.

Open Studio- Flowers



"7 Petal Fun Flower" by Delbert Beckham
This is a beautiful piece of artwork. It looks so elegant, however rustic. I really enjoy this peice because it looks so aged and interesting. Another sculpture I really like is this "Fedral Triangle Flower" located on the Woodrow Wilson Plaza.
This is a gorgeous piece of work because it is so large an interesting

Organograph


"Organograph'

This piece of art in a 75 foot tall sculpture that let's the public learn things about climate change. This is a flower and I find it very interesting because it solar-powered kinetic flower sculpture. It is so amazing because it blooms when the sun comes out, and acts like a real flower.

Odd Sculpture Creations


The Butter Women

I am not sure who sculpt this amazing women. But what I do know is that it is made out of butter. I really enjoy this piece because it has so many details and is so unoriginal. I really like how she is laying down, fast asleep. What I don't understand however, is how this sculpture doesn't melt? I would assume that it has to be in a very cool temperature room.

Zuni Fetish Sculptures


Zuni Festish Animals

This is a Snake sculpture that is about 2.38" high, the sculpture is unknown. I actually really enjoy this piece because instead of it being sculpt as just a place snake slithering through the ground, this snake has life. It is ready to attack.




I also really enjoy this Zuni Fetish sculpture. Again, who ever created this piece is unknown. What I like about this piece of work is that there are so many small details involved. Whether the details be the color or the texture, this sculpture is very impressive and creative.

Aluminium Can Sculptures



The Canstruction Organization

It is real amazing how many things you can sculpt out of an every-day drinking can. Surfing on the Internet I found dragons, butterflies, cars, snakes, birds, deer, and anything the mind can possibly imagine that were made out of aluminium can! It did take awhile for me to find one specific artists how crafted sculptures such as these, but I feel that this organization called, "Canstruction" really does a fantastic job creating life-like or even the most random pieces of art! The interesting thing about this group is that every piece of art they do, they cans are full. They actually donate there pieces of food/art to needy shelters! What I like about this piece is that, to me, it represents love and family. Not only is the art portion of it wonderful but it also sends a message!


Cédric le Borgne 

This is an iron sculpture built by and European artist. I really like this hanging sculpture because its so simple, yet very appealing .

Paper Artists

Bert Simons
Bert Simon's work catches my eye because his paper sculptures are so realistic. However, even though they are just 'paper people' they each have their own characteristics. To me, looking at these pieces of work that Simon's did, I get inspiration. This artists seems to be able to put every piece of detail of the human face into his paper sculptures. If you look, you can tell that the three men all have different sized noses, ears, chins, ext.
 
 
 
Brian Dettmer
To me, Brian Dettmer looks as if he could be one of the most talented sculptures. Dettmer makes three dimensional art pieces that pop out at you. This artist catches my eye because his sculptures are so different than others that I have seen. Even though this art piece just looks like a black and white news paper, I can also see a story being told. This sculpture has so many different things that are going on, yet it is not to heavy to look at and not boring what so ever.
