Letter from cartoonist Alfred Joseph Frueh to his wife Giuliette Fanciulli, sent on Jan. 10th, 1913. The letter opens up to form a model of a gallery hung with paintings. Frueh made this model to inform his wife about the details of a specific art gallery before her visit.
Marian Hill creates these amazing collages images constructed from carefully selected fragments of paper stuck down with glue.
From the artist:
My work has become more intricate as time passes, each picture is comprised of hundreds of tiny snippets cut from old magazines and discarded books. Frequently I go out on location, make drawings and take photographs of my chosen subject.
Later, I make a final line drawing of my composition and then build up a coloured version using collage. In order to show more clearly how my collages are constructed, I have made a time lapse animation of the evolution of a piece of work. I made this film by fixing a camera above my desk and taking a photo every 10 minutes or so.
Stardust - Iconic Motels Architectural Models Anna Carey
Anna Carey focuses on architectural spaces as a medium to open up an imaginative realm for the viewer, inviting us to enter into the shadows of our stories and of collective memory. Her recent archive of iconic ‘Stardust’ motels from across Australia and the Americas present tandem versions – both as they were ‘then’, and now revamped. The artist constructs fragile cardboard architectural models, which she documents as video and photographs to express and access a psychological sensibility beyond the physical façades presented. The artifice is intensified as in a game of Chinese whispers where the original gets lost in the re-imagining imbuing her photographs with a nostalgic, cinematic reverie.
