Sin lugar a dudas el lugar más bestia de Euskadi y alrededores es este del cañón de Delika desde donde se puede ver cómo te viene encima el salto del Nervión, al que no le hace falta presentación. Madrugamos @jorgereyazabal , @rafadiez78 y yo mismo para intentar pillar color en el cielo, pero la previsión se retrasó y nos llevamos los picos teñidos del color del sol. Cuando llegamos hasta allí me llevé una grata sorpresa al encontrarme con @jesusrsrc . Otro tan loco como nosotros

Un matin calme en Amazonie.

Aşam Şaşmazer was born in 1980 in Istanbul and lives and works in Istanbul and Berlin. In her practice, she creates sculptures that investigate the human psyche as the main theme and have social, psychological and political connotations.

 

In 2003 she completed her BFA at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in Istanbul and received her MA in Sculpture in 2006. With her realistic and often uncanny works she questions the concepts of identity, doppelgänger and the individual in their social or natural environments. For her most recent works, Şaşmazer draws inspiration from two principal theories of psychologist Carl Gustav Jung: metanoia and the archetype of the shadow. In the series Metanoia (2013-15)–a term that refers to a spiritual transformation, reconstruction and recovery–life-sized figures made in solid wood, her preferred medium, show an unnerving “dark side” through the presence of their shadow; a repressed inner self that the figure is forced to confront. She investigates the relationship between mankind and nature focusing on contradictions such as “good and evil,” “dark and light”, “child and adult”, which inform her observations on other themes such as invasion, decay, ruins, remembrance and the transience of memories.

 

Şaşmazer has been exhibiting worldwide since 2010 and her works have been presented in solo and group shows at various institutions, galleries, and art fairs including: Saatchi Gallery and Aubin Gallery (2011), London; ARA Art Square, (2012) Seoul; Torrance Art Museum (2016), Torrance, California; Positions Art Fair (2015, 2016), Berlin; Contemporary Istanbul (2013, 2015); the Xingjiang Bienniale (2014), Xingjiang, China and Glasstress Gotika, Fondazione Berengo (2015), Venice. Şaşmazer’s sculptures can be found in many private and public collections such as the Proje4L Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art and Koç Collection, Istanbul; and Olbricht Collection, Berlin and Essen.

I was paired with Raf Degeest rafartreides2009. My push was to make an image of something out of nature: focus on a pretty / interesting detail and leave the rest as a bokeh background; this means eventually using the macro or "M" for manual light settings of your Canon EOS 60; in this way you create a picturesque image (you might over saturate the colors a bit) and, most of all, see those typical bokeh circles.

 

So here is my answer to the challenge.

About Carrie A. Bracker:

Carrie was born and raised in Nogales Arizona. She moved to Maine in 2004. She comes from a very creative family and a mother, who taught and encouraged her to play and explore with the many different mediums of art.

 

After a few years of experimenting with many different art forms, Carrie found mosaics in the fall of 2001 after watching a British gardening show, which featured a ceramic mosaic artist. Watching her make her mosaic so intrigued Carrie; she decided to give it a try but wanted to use glass as her medium. A six-week stain glass course taught Carrie how to cut glass and gave her the basics for mosaics. To get a better feel of what mosaics are all about, she took several courses on mosaic technique and studied with professionals across the country. She then found her own technique and style for her Mosaics.

 

Carrie founded Nature’s Mosaics in 2002. Her primary focus has been on nature, focusing on its simplicities yet mysterious complexities. Her eye for composition, vision for color and light and her attraction to shapes, textures and design enables her to create extraordinary images of ordinary and common subjects. Many of her pieces have its beginnings from a flea market or garage sale. She loves to work with old and used items and then breath new life into them. Another passion of Carries is to experiment with items gathered from nature, such as rocks or pebbles, wood, rusted metal, beach glass, sea shells or bottle caps. She also has added fused glass as a medium so she can make her own tiles for her mosaics.

 

Each mosaic Carrie makes is a one-of- a-kind mosaic. Some of the items may look similar but no two items are alike. Each mosaic is designed, fabricated and installed by Carrie for residential, commercial and public areas.

 

Examples of Carrie’s work at Maine Art Glass Studio in Lisbon Falls, Maine, Iron Bound in Camden Maine, Northport Landing in Northport Maine, Seaside Creations in Bailey Island and Heron Point Gallery in Portland Maine. Carrie lives in Auburn Maine with her biggest fan and dog, Harper.

I was paired with Raf Degeest rafartreides2009 for my Get Pushed Challenge. These three photos represent variations on the first photo I thought of making my official submission.

 

My challenge was to make an image of something out of nature: focus on a pretty / interesting detail and leave the rest as a bokeh background in this way you create a picturesque image (you might oversaturate the colors a bit) and, most of all, see those typical bokeh circles.

 

He wanted me to go outside of my comfort zone. My initial reaction was related to technique - not outside of my comfort zone at all. What was outside was the aesthetics. My initial reaction was I liked the version where the mountains were recognizable. I have since shifted my opinion some. I then changed both of them up a bit (only added one of the two)

The photograph captures a serene moment in nature, focusing on the delicate beauty of dried thistles. The blurred background creates a sense of depth and isolates the thistles, highlighting their unique form. The muted color palette and natural setting evoke a feeling of tranquility and the passage of time.
