Scanner art by Craig Cramer, gardening & more
Garden art, PhotoShopped images, etc.
Photographer Chris Jordan‘s show Running the Numbers opens at Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery on Feb. 28. (Details here.)
This is typical of his work, an image made up of images of 106,000 aluminum cans — thirty seconds of U.S. can consumption.
I first blogged about Jordan back in September. Then he showed up on the Colbert Report in October:
Oxalis, LHB Conservatory, dry brush filter
It hasn’t been a bad winter. But it’s starting to wear very, very thin. It’s the right time of the year to break out the Manu Chao (The Merry Blues) :
Oxalis, LHB Conservatory, water color filter
Like Kathy at CCG, nothing but snow and ice outside. But I scanned a few inside plants (houseplants and an overwintering Albutilon that’s flowering to beat the band) and fiddled with them.
Poinsettia | Cyclamen | Albutilon
Calla | Cyclamen foliage
Just a begonia.
Updated 2/17: Forgot to link to Kathy’s post and I changed the timestamp to keep this on top for awhile.
Here’s a preview of a Living Sculpture activity website that’s part of our Cornell Garden-Based learning program. It’s basically activities for educators working with children, youth and community groups, and pre-release, as we’re still putting some finishing touches on it.
I invite you to explore the site and help us test it out. We’re new with video, and don’t quite have the embeds worked out 100 percent. A small percent of users won’t be able to view the embedded videos and will have to rely on the links to other file types which will open up in an external player. Â (I don’t have the embedded videos set to autoplay, so you’ll need to click on the play button.)
For an even smaller percentage, the embedded video will lock up your browser. If that happens to you, I apologize. But I’d really appreciate it if you’d leave me a comment and let me know what browser and version you are using (the version number is under Help > About). Also, if you know what version of QuickTime you are running.
I appreciate the help.
My favorite video (by student videographer Ian Ward) is the one on the homepage, though the timelapse of that project is a lot of fun, too.
Oriental Garden, by Lisa Ellis. Raw-Edge Appliqué Lazy Landscape for sale at the Windrush Gallery in Fairfax, Va.
I got an email this week from Virginia quilter, Lisa Ellis, asking permission to translate one of my photos into one of her quilts. Wow! That’s like a dream come true, as her work is inspired. I especially like her landscape and art quilts.
Lisa writes that she “specializes in art quilts of spiritual and religious themes that express my faith. I am also passionate about making pieces for healing projects.” She is generous with her art, using it to raise money to fight Alzheimer’s and other causes.
And she blogs at lisaellisquilts.blogspot.com, where in her most recent post she claims she’s not cool. I beg to differ. Check her out.
