Marvelous Monday

Shayna Lieb is a glass and metal artist whose work ranges from sculptural to jewelry. It's all quite beautiful but it was her sculptural work that really grabbed my eye. She's done an extraordinary series of sculptural work on wind and water.

Here's what she had to say about this series . . . "Two of the most powerful elements on our planet are nearly indiscernible to the human eye, yet we are innately aware of their presence, their capacity to soothe and destroy, and their ability to weave patterns where they touch.
Wind and water possess no intrinsic color, are clear to the point of invisibility, and yet move through space. We see not their form itself, but can detect their patterns and shapes only vicariously though the objects they affect. The trace of water's touch over moss and sea life, the wind's passage over marshlands, through wheat fields and the fur of a long-haired animal- these two forces make their presence known. Their character is contradictory and fickle, encompassing fragility and violence, placidity and turbulence.
They leave their mark upon ourselves and our external world. We have discovered some of their patterns and named them, giving them character and life: Kuroshio, Leeuwin, Sirocco, Charybdis, Boreas, Agulhas, the Nor'easters.

She has a website with so much more. You'll be in for a treat. And while you're there - have a marvelous Monday!
