POPSDec 23, Festival of the Radishes (Mexico) Known as 'Fiesta de los Rabanos' in Mexican, this unusual event in Oaxaca celebrates the wonderful world of radish sculptures. The humble vegetable is nipped, tucked, shaved and carved into all manner of things ranging from flowers and animals to saints and full-blown nativity scenes. Prizes for the most original piece ensure that standards are high with all works going on display in the Zocalo. And if the sculpted radishes are not enough for you, there is also live music and traditional dancing displays. And there are plenty of food stalls selling authentic Mexican dishes including bunuelos deliciously sweet syrup-coated doughnuts. http://gomexico.about.com/od/festivalsholidays/ig/Radish-Festival-Photos/

POPSPencil Art Evolves Into Unusual Sculptures Before pencils, Maestre was originally building with nails and a liquid rubber-type glue. She started to worry about inhaling all the toxic fumes, however, and began to experiment with different techniques until she settled on beading. Her method of choice? The peyote stitch. #3 In Watchtower, Maestre focuses on a more architectural form. Peer inside and you'll see a series of pencil struts spiraling up like a staircase in a tower. #4 Maestre was originally inspired by the push-pull reaction she had to sea urchins. #5 Hive is one of Mastre's unintentionally more suggestive sculptures. "Certain viewers find it a little obscene," she says. "Maybe because I used the pink eraser ends to outline the orifices." (OK?) #6 Some see a frog, others a gorilla, and some even an Egyptian mask. What does Threnody look like to you? Maestre may not know herself, but her primary goal was to convey the feeling of something howling.

POPSSculptures By Orhogonal Intersection Just one of many beautiful works by what I believe a brilliant and original artist. I just loved seeing how he creates these unique sculptures from what are essentially simple techniques & not excepting the thought that sculpture is made by adding or removing Guido came up with a new method, separation. Numerology recognizes nothing comes into existence without three & Mr. Moretti has discovered/revealed this to us in his art.
