Wow! Found this fantastic installation on Anya’s Blog and just had to share verbatim…
Have you ever picked dandylions and blown them so the fluffy seeds went everywhere? Well German artist Regine Ramseier picked over 2000 of them – carefully sprayed them with adhesive and stored them in her car. Then hung them upside down! This is her amazing installation for ArToll Summer Lab 2011… you can exhale now!
And this is how she did it…
The ability to capture a mystical scene, a particular hue, a fleeting moment through the camera lens is a skill I yearn to have and when I find someone who has been able to do exactly that, it’s only fair I spread the word. If you enjoy this beautiful take on Venice, you will find Anya’s Blog pure pleasure to visit…enjoy!
