Whimsical Equipment

I was so pleased to see this weeks word, "equipment".  This is a page from my altered book.  I did it just last week and as you can see it features a piece of equipment!  I love the idea of machines, especially old ones, being used metaphorically.   This made me wonder why I like to put machines or math or science in my art and I think it has a lot to do with the wonderful art of Roland Emett.  The Ontario Science Centre has a fantastic example of one of his whimsical machines that always stops me in my tracks.  He creates the most marvelously detailed and whimsical equipment.  I have one of his books and when I was trying to find link for this blog, I was surprised to see how hard his books are to find.  He should be much more famous!  If you haven't seen his work before, take a look.  You're in for a treat.

Wow! I can see how his work inspires you. I too am inspired and so wish I could be there to see it in person! Great interpretation this week!

Thanks for this Laurel, the film clip shows just how beautiful his work is. I can't believe I haven't come across him before.
