Bizarre Haircuts.....

Nick Sayers demonstrates his knowledge of geometry through a unique haircut: the obtuse angles of each rhombus meet in groups of three,  but the acute angles meet in groups of five, six, or seven, depending on the curvature. In the flatter areas, they meet in groups of six, like equilateral triangles, and in the areas of strong positive curvature they meet in groups of five, but in the negatively curved saddle at the back of the neck, there is a group of seven. Batman haircut. Cartoon face. Mac fan. Elaborated design. All the way to the beard.

Snow Art from Simon Beck

At work, Simon Beck makes orienteering maps. In his spare time, he straps on a pair of snowshoes and tramps around for 10 hours, creating unique pieces of snow art on a truly mountainous scale.

Simon has been creating this amazing snow art since 2004 in the ski resort of Les Arcs where he lives for most of the winter. With no background in art to speak of, the 54-year-old takes inspiration from the spirograph doodles of his childhood, and the mystical geometry of crop circles and mathematical fractals, giving his pieces names like ‘Mandelbrot set’, ‘Koch curve’ and ‘Sierpinski triangle’.

Precision is key to creating aerial art on this scale, so Simon usually designs the image on paper before heading out into the cold. He then uses an orienteering compass to get the angles right and a measuring tape or pace-counting to calculate distances; a clothes line with an anchor at the centre point is sometimes used for curves.

Asked in an interview why he started to create this amazing snow art, Simon replied, “It just seemed a natural thing to do.”

As to how his work is received in the resort, his answer is more elaborate:

“I am more interested in what people say on Facebook. Most of the skiers think I am a bit mad, and it’s a waste of good skiing time (I agree, hence the preference for working at night) but I hope to spread the message the mountains and snow are beautiful and worth preserving, and there are better things in life than spending so much time doing things you don’t want to so that you can spend money you haven’t got (yet) to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like.” – Simon Beck

Perfectly Balanced Stone Statues

He balances them and they balance him right back. That is relationship that has formed between Michael Grabb and his special art pieces. Grabb makes most of his statues in the streams of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. His is a Sisyphean work of piling and balancing the stones one on top of another. This activity, he says, balances the material world with the spiritual one.On the one hand is the material nature that rocks symbolize, on the other, the perfect harmony and balance that comes from the spiritual world, as well as the connection to the natural world. The results are fantastic and creative, when we see his implausible creations.
