Glass Chair by Zack Nichols
Assemblage of found chair and found broken glass, the city (San Francisco) is full of wonder. This chair was created from the idea of: making the functional into something nonfunctional combining unlikely materials representing the urban environment – glass and steel, soft and rigid, harsh and comforting, functional and visually stimulating The chair began as a conceptual piece and happened to turn into something beautiful.

German Toast by Soxy Fleming
Featured on a card… in a toaster… in the buyers booth This toaster object is now the winner of the Biblio Art competition run in Port Fairy Australia by Blarney Books and Art / read more here Artwork Description The interior mechanism of a vintage toaster has had a short, fake electrical cord attached complete with plug. Tied to the end of the cord near the plug are two folded paper pieces (a paper plane and a game of chance) made from pages of the German Dictionary. The Dictionary itself has been split in two and each half bound with nylon filament to keep the pages and covers together (creating two discrete blocks or pieces of “toast”). These have been inserted in the toast slots. Also in one of the toast slots is a booklet made from five original pages torn from the Dictionary which have German words written on them in pen and ink. The cover of this booklet is made from a scan of the real cover. This booklet has been duplicated in the form of a miniature zine which hangs from the exterior of the toaster as a swing tag. The zine represents a puzzle game in which all information is present to translate the German pen and ink writing (with some effort from the observer). Artist’s Statement A foreign language may be remote and weird to us while being normal and everyday in its native setting. We can laugh about, and talk in, silly accents, use “pretend” foreign language or be tortured by strict procedures in old school teaching fashion. The toaster transcends cultural differences and lives in every kitchen, yet retains a sweet attraction…a toy toaster is an appealing thing and retro toasters become objects of desire. Of course, the search for the perfect toaster-of-long-life is never ending…. In combining the everyday retro kitchen object (albeit in an unusual presentation) with foreign language the stage is set for investigation by the curious and playful. Combining graphic techniques old and new (pen and ink writing and scans of a 3 dimensional book) the object arrangement is completed – the addition of the resulting puzzle zine as a swing tag adds to the consumable image of the everyday kitchen appliance and allows the observer to participate in a timely word finding game.

Heartbreaking! by amanda Rae
Heartbreaking! mixed media sculpture “Young people drink just for ‘something to do’,” Drinkaware survey reveals. / 08 Jul 2009 / One in four (25%) young people drink alcohol just for ‘something to do’ according to new research launched by alcohol charity Drinkaware. Drinking alcohol ranks highest in preferred activities over playing sports, reading and going to the gym or pool and more than two thirds (71%) of 16-17 year olds drink once a week or more. The same survey also revealed that three fifths (59%) of professionals working with under-18s don’t have the support and information they need to provide education about alcohol. / Although often seen by young people as a normal part of socialising, underage drinking is a growing problem. As an independent charity that aims to combat the growing problem of underage drinking, Drinkaware has developed a comprehensive guide to help professionals provide young people with the facts about alcohol. The Drinkaware research also shows that: / • On average young people have their first alcoholic drink aged 13.4 years; are 14.2 years old when they first get drunk; and over and three fifths (60%) say they started drinking because it was part of ‘being young and socialising’. / • Young people are less concerned about getting drunk (15%), than they are about having unsafe sex (45%), taking recreational drugs (44%) and not getting qualifications (21%). / • 43% of professionals working with young people think that under-18s have too much freedom over what they do in their social lives. Only 12% agree that young people’s social lives are too tightly controlled by adults

Thanks for the feature in Statues and Such

Children's Toys.. by amanda Rae
resin sculpture of assemblege….”TOY” gun and Mothers form John Carnochan 30 years experience policing in Strathclyde said “We know that domestic abuse increases during pregnancy. A mother living in an aggressive environment cannot provide a safe haven for her baby. “Research shows the effects stress hormones such as cortisol have on the foetus’s brain are as profound as heroin. So when the baby is born it is fractious, hardwired for an aggressive environment. The mother then has a fractious baby and an aggressive partner.”
