Toys That Slice and Dice

Chinese artist Shi Jinsong created sculptures depicting baby accessories which would fit right in as toys for the Addams Family or for a future Terminator baby. Strollers, cribs, rattles, and walkers are made from razor-sharp blades, making a macabre and bizarre fine art collection.

Monsters and Marilyns

CS Lewis once said "How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been". This was the primary thought behind the series Monsters and Marilyns.

Australia Forms Rock Art Reserves

September 25, 2009 Sydney Morning Herald:
Sign on the dotted line saves spectacular rock art

Yesterday the federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, and traditional indigenous owners signed an agreement at the base of a spectacular gallery of rock art, establishing the first of two new conservation reserves on Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory.

Known as the Warddeken and Djelk Indigenous Protected Areas, the reserves span 20,432 square kilometres, stretching from high rocky country to the islands off northern Australia. They include sandstone gorges, pristine rivers, tropical savannah and coastal wetlands.

Under the agreements negotiated with 137 Aboriginal groups, traditional owners will manage the reserves helped by indigenous rangers in full-time jobs paid for by the Federal Government.
