Sometimes.
Life moves way too fast.
A year’s worth in age
Faded too quickly to the past
No chance to gasp
At the mirage you failed to grasp
Lost opportunities and time
Through that tunnel vision crime
Forced to patiently await the sign
For when things have all been realigned
So that you can breath
Again.

“A liquid will always take the shape of its container. Angle is a measuring jug that makes use of this property for the measurement of liquids.
The classic measuring-jug system makes use of horizontal markings for the calculation of quantities. To pour our a specific partial quantity of liquid, the user must pour a little and then check the amount poured against the horizontal markings.
Angle combines this system with a new system of diagonal lines that indicate quantities during pouring. The diagonal lines correspond with the surface of the liquid during pouring.”
BayBloom Incubator by Gianni Orsini
Since the babies require very intensive care, this incubator can be placed over a hospital bed where the mother can be in very close contact with her child. Another functionally well-thought-out aspect is the fact that the BabyBloom can be adjusted to many different heights; it can be positioned much higher and lower than other incubators. Since the climate system has been integrated in an innovative way in the basic structure, the BabyBloom offers much legroom underneath. Thus, it is possible to stand or sit comfortably at this incubator. With its design, the BabyBloom gives the baby ward a totally new and friendly face. In addition, it conveys a high sense of security.

Using a process that could be the new definition of meticulous, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each plane that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart, giving the portraits a certain depth and dimensionality that’s hard to convey in a photograph, but this video on YouTube shows it pretty well. Park just exhibited this month at Blank Space Gallery in New York as part of his latest series Maya (meaning “illusion” in Sanskrit). You can see much more at West Collects.

You hold on to something that you think should last
A solidified gray constant to the past
But the moment the shade should change
To black and white,
A colored world now rearranged
White and absent
Dark and dreary
How has it that you’ve been so comfortable in a gray
An area of question marks
Suddenly no more
So accustomed to the variability
Sideline cheering on a hope that it could possibly sway
This shade of gray
Time frayed like the ends of a rope
No more time wondering ifs
No more possibilities
Wishing, waiting,
But now that it’s shifted
Where is that sudden lift
Why does happiness feel
Like the gray that is no more
Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as “Labyrinth,” a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. In the early 1990s Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff’s nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.
