I absolutely love sculpting, it’s one of the only arts where you can bend 3-dimensional reality to the whim of your imagination, seeding significance and the human essence into the absence of form- I’ve always found it amusing how great artists can instil whatever profound wonders, earthly struggles or a dichotomy of both into their creations; as if … Continue reading »

It’s not everyday you can see footage of another planet, yet alone a rovers hasty approach toward alien terrain but today you can!

This is real-time film, which shows … Continue reading »
Acoustic Levitation- The Powers of Sound
It’s no stroboscopic light levitation effect at play here or a wizards trick, although in the past it would be considered as such.

No, … Continue reading »
