Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) had an exhibit about Vera Neumann's napkins. I loved these little how-to diagrams.

Book 418

Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities

David Revere McFadden

Museum of Arts and Design 2010

Published to accompany an exhibition at NY’s Museum of Arts and Design in 2011, this book features over 35 international artists, sculptors, photographers, and videographers whose work is focused on the creation of small worlds. It’s the wide range of art that impresses the most—large table-size dioramas, small intimate interiors, sculptures within snow globes and boxes, models of skyscrapers and entire neighborhoods. The scope and scale of the art is wildly variable, but uniting the artists is their interest in achieving their effects without the use of digital manipulation, instead preferring to use traditional handcrafting techniques.

Many things exist in the world of TxM. I might do more environment-related worldbuilding stuff for fun.

The Therianthropic statuette (Löwenmensch)

from the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave, Ca. 30,000-26,000 BCE.

31 centimetres tall.

Ccarved from mammoth ivory it stands as the oldest known example of figurative art.

Discovered in a cave in Germany, this enigmatic sculpture merges human and animal features in a way that challenges understanding—both hauntingly familiar and strikingly otherworldly.

It offers a profound glimpse into the creative genius of early humans, hinting at their capacity for imagination and symbolic thought.

Remarkably, the Lion-man predates the advent of known written language by more than 30,000 years. To put that in perspective, it is older than Stonehenge by tens of thousands of years.

This ancient artifact showcases an extraordinary leap in artistic expression, marking one of the earliest examples of humans conveying complex ideas long before written records existed.
