Nature Source Of Beauty

I might have mentioned some of these artist before (or maybe you have), but I went on a nature walk today via my computer. How inspiring. Makes me want to gather some leaves,twigs and shells and make a pattern.

Heather Barnett, The Living Room, 2001 and her Cellular Wallpapers, 2000 - custom printed Digital Wallpaper® designs derived from human cellular microscopy. Very disturbing or very cool.

Mussel shells, incoming tide by Gloria Lamson.

Worth reading: The desire to act beautifully - Forget Your Botany



Chris Booth's Big Boulders as art and Pumice from the Mountains as mountains.

Chris Drury's Mushroom Wheel (wish I could see more of it)

Ingrid Koivukangas - Environmental Artist, Willow River and Birchberry

Thinking boxes by Anne Katrin

Sand dollars by Diana Lynn Thompson, Writing poetry on leaves and Gesture: Momentary installations made between the tides on the beaches of Vancouver, Victoria, and Saltspring Island



So simple, so beautiful. Noble-Fir-Crystals ( found in the Tomographics): Slices of dead Noble-Fir at Fawn-Lake, Mt.St.Helens, WA, by Urs-P. Twellman and much more natural beauty on his site. The image below is the property of www.twellmann.ch.

    Love these links, thank you for sharing. I loved the cellular wallpaper concept, and especially the Thinking Boxes. What a great concept. I'll have to "think" more about those myself.

  5. I love all of these nature based art links..wow!
    The spirals remind me of Robert Smithson's "jetty" sculpture from 1970.
