Commissions have included the Hayward Gallery, Midland Hotel, 20th Century Society, Royal Festival Hall, and the Tinsley Cooling Towers.

Above, the same basic design with dancers added is a screenprint entitled Sardana [Sardana is a kind of Catalonian folk dance]. It’s a bit reminiscent of the work of fellow Londoner Lisa Jones. Also, check out the roddy&ginger Etsy shop. Via D*S.

Insect Bridge by Helen Nodding

Helen Nodding is a London-based artist who has created a series of miniature urban interventions. These Lilliputian structures animate overlooked spaces with a grand sense of fantasy that belies their small stature. These installations are part of her Nature Reserve series; check out Stories from Space for more of Nodding’s work.

Nodding is currently in Melbourne, where she is pursuing a new body of work. Her interventions are reminiscent of Jan Vormann’s work in the cracks of Berlin buildings. It’s guerilla architecture with a sense of humor and an air of anarchy.
