While these are striking, astounding, beautiful, and ingenious, I can’t help but wonder how someone makes a living doing art like this?
If you look at their site, at least some of the installations appear to be commissions for art events, though that’s not to say that these three artists are living off this work. I don’t know, but this stuff is pretty mind-blowing.
Amazing. If these people aren’t making a living off of art, that’s a shame. I realize that I haven’t really looked at or interrogated materials in such an interesting way in a long time…
