Here are a couple of images of projects from Robert Wechsler’s website

Circular Bike
When browsing through his work I also found this image :
It’s nearly identical to this piece by Milton F Stevenson V previously featured in this blog:
Part of what I liked about the work was that it is simple and in a way logical. I suppose the downside to this is that it is quite probable that someone else will have the same idea. I also found a drawing of my own in an old notebook featuring a circle of shopping trolleys (in my pictures the ring was on its side).

Keith McCann @ 4, Dublin
“Four is pleased to present a solo show of new and developing works by Keith McCann. McCann’s work develops through the exploration of materials. Through observation he extracts the generic from the reality of the physical world often considering their allusions. He questions the potential of fragmentation. Treating the fragmented as components through a process of accumulation he believes the possibile combinations are endless

Maria McKinney – Scape @ Old Museum Arts Centre, Belfast
“Maria McKinney explores how the idealistic imagery found on a jigsaw puzzle echoes the escapist nature of its objective. Its construction requires time, and a visual awareness attuned to the specified image. With Scape, McKinney examines the relationship between the creation of the image and time and the displacement of the mind, continually looping and thinking about static image.”

Michelle Allard
Flourish II, Office Paper, File Boxes, 2006
Flourish, discarded neon office paper, 2005
In Transit, Boxes, Palletwrap, Bubblewrap, 2006
Chair Slag, Cardboard, Packaging Foam, 2006
“I explore possible and fabricated conditions that evade notions of stability and constancy. Focus and negotiation is placed on progression and circulation through accumulating, layering, and reforming various quantities of common manufactured and household materials such as polystyrene, plastics, carpeting, cardboard and office paper. My work navigates around the ideas of production, ‘making’, material build-up, and flow. I consider the notion that everyday materials and systems, while appearing stable and knowable, often involve a vacillation of processes that defy stabilization.”
