Non-Sign II is an installation by Seattle based Art collective Lead Pencil Studio located at the Canada-US border near Vancouver. The sculpture is made from small stainless steel rods that are assembled together to create the negative space of a billboard. While most billboards draw attention away from the landscape Non-Sign II frames the landscape, focusing attention back on it.
Opening this Friday, May 4th at Philadelphia’s Wexler Gallery is a group show, ‘Wild Nature’ curated by artist Sienna Freeman (who we introduced to the site here.) The works explore the strange and sometimes terrifying aspects of nature in a variety of mediums including stunning animal sculptures by artist Christy Langer and Victorian inspired blown glass reliquaries that house bits of flora and fauna from artist Andy Paiko. Tempered by a delicate beauty, the work often explores the cycle of life and death as realized through the use of bone and the dangerously wild nature of beasts.

The key for you to understand here with the work of James Nizam. In order to get these photographs, in order to create these wonderful light installations, James makes incisions into the structure of a house to manipulate sunlight into light sculptures. That’s right, its the sun …
These are incredible in our book, and the amount of time and engineering involved must be a major task. The series is called Trace Heavens, and Nizam has an exhibition at Gallery Jones in Vancouver at the moment… worth a check for sure. (via booooooom)
