SPECTACULAR RAINBOW BUTTON BY KAREN HURLEY

Artist Karen Hurley uses buttons for more than simply fastening a coat. With her keen eye for color and composition, the Auckland, New Zealand-based artist has constructed some incredibly charming creations that are almost sculptural forms of pointillism.

Kamina Cox-Palmer created these inspiring photographs while she was undergoing the process of chemotherapy. Kamina explains:

‘I was excited to have a bald head to work with to create these images. Making them helped keep my spirits up during treatment. I just finished my last chemo treatment, and I have scans coming up soon, but as of now the doctors think the cancer is gone, and I love life more than ever.’

It’s hard not to fall into a hypnotic trance while staring at art student Yasutoki Kariya’s installation titled Asobi. The kinetic structure, whose name translates as “play” in Japanese, features a transference of light and motion from one end of a series of light bulbs to the other, á la Newton’s Cradle. The remarkably soothing audiovisual installation mimics the familiar pendulum desk toy with its form and movement, which happens to prove Newton’s third law that says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, instead of watching a silver ball click against a series of other like-sized spheres hanging from a line of their own respective string, we’re offered a new, stimulating visual.
