Absurdly realistic sculptures of goldfish created by Riusuke Fukahori, one layer of paint & resin at a time. 

His pieces are currently on display at the ICN gallery in London. Shame I didn’t know about the exhibit when I was in town last week.

With a lot of help, I created this Mondrian style drop ceiling. When my friend was installing a drop ceiling in my room crowded with ductwork and utilities, and the ceiling wasn’t going to come out very uniform, we joked that we should just make the ceiling of all sorts of different size panels. And then it hit us.

So, we plotted out the desired locations for rails and determining the panel shapes, and fit everything together, unpainted. The panels were labelled and removed for painting. Next, running complex computer simulations, a second friend and I came up with the color pattern. The rails were painted in enamel, mini rollers were engaged, and the whole thing was put back together again very carefully.

Many thanks to D, N, and R.
