Face Reality as it is by Thomas Quinn
Briefly “Anamorphic Typography” is an illusion where the type in the space or any location looks just right when viewed from the exact right spot, but it looks stretched and warped on the walls when viewed from elsewhere in the room. Chicago based designer Thomas Quinn did this famous trick with elegance and good results.

Spencer Finch - 366, Emily Dickinson’s Miraculous Year (2009)
This work is based on Emily Dickinson in 1862, when she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. It is a real-time memorial to that year, which burns for exactly one year. The sculpture is comprised of 366 individual candles arranged in a linear sequence, each of which burns for 24 hours. The colour of each candle matches a colour mentioned in the corresponding poem. For the poems in which no colour is mentioned, the candles are made out of natural paraffin.

Kevin Champeny - What Remains (2012) - Hand-cast urethane flowers
Artist’s statement:
“I sculpted each original flower, then created silicone molds of the originals, then I cast them in color. They are not painted in any way. I cast them in various two part liquid resins. These pieces take several months to design, sculpt, mold, and cast. The construction process is a painstaking adventure of careful placement and gluing (super super-glue), that can take up to a month to complete.”
