The Fragility of Time

Ignacio Canales Aracil collaborates with parks to collect the flowers used in these sculptures. They represent the spririt of the garden where the plants are from. He says: "The flowers are held together without any structure or glue, they stand and stick together as the straw in a hat after being dried and pressed all at once. The roughness of the process which requires lots of physical effort contrast with the delicacy and fragility of the finished sculpture. Although its fragile it is made to last, as some ancient collections of dried pressed flowers are dated 500 years ago. " Ignacio Canales Aracil uses varnish to conserve the sculptures.

This wallpaper by Carnovsky (a Milan based collective) shows layers of patterns in different colours (green, red, yellow and blue). With normal light, all the layers appear at the same time. The magic happens when they are exposed to a colored light (green, red or blue). Suddenly some of the patterns are revealed while the others become invisible! The potential of the idea is infinite, so much to play around with!





So inspiring and brilliant, isn't it? (Or should I say bright?)

Here is what he says with it :

How can you help? I have two requests.

First, I'd love to hear your thoughts for how to improve the presentation.

What's missing? What's off? What could be improved? What should be left out? Etc. Be as brutally honest as you like. It will only help make it better.

Secondly, I want to include a section that highlights what some of you think the next 60 years will hold for advertising and marketing. I'll treat what you say in one of two ways, depending on how you submit it.
