john eastman | The Afterlife of Trees

Double Dog Studios presents artist john eastman's The Afterlife of Trees, an exhibit coming November 5th, 2022. The exhibit will feature three reiterations of trees, each representing new observations and utilities after they have passed on from life, perhaps inadvertently adding to the progression of humanity. Featured works, all in series, include sculptural wall sconces made from treated bark, hanging branch apparatuses and mobiles, and sculptural wood + rebar forms.

Methods of work include the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban (method of wood charring), Rebar form design, and Fiber wrapping. See more here

Carnegie goes International

Artist Spotlight

Merel Noorlander [1984] is a Dutch artist/designer who recently graduated with a Master of Fine Art from the 4D Design Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Merel's work navigates the space between technology, social design, and performance, where they create non-normative stories and a new format of expression within various bodily perspectives. Fundamental to their research is a focus on and aim towards collective empowerment with kinetic installations and (video) performances that interweave sexuality and contemporary objects, set in both public and private domains. They transform varied materials (paper, fiber, metals, silicone) into objects that are capable of contracting, expanding, glowing, or twisting by way of hands, motors, and timers.
