Michael van Dam. Another great sculpture at the Swell Sculpture festival. artist statement: In the early 1960's, due to the whaling industry, there were estimated to be fewer than 200 Humpback whales migrating along the east coast of Australia. Now with the help from various conservation organisations and public awareness, there are estimated to be over 20.000.
The multi-colours of the hand symbolise that all mankind can assist our planet's animals, before we lose them completely.

In 1998, Paperhand Puppet Intervention’s directors Donovan Zimmerman and Jan Burger met and began a collaboration of epic proportions. Since then, 25 years ago, they have been using papier-mâché, cardboard, bamboo, your old house paints, cloth, and other assorted junk (treasure to us!) to create incredible giant puppets, masks, shadow plays and spectacle performances for all ages.
Paperhand Puppet Intervention’s mission is to use diverse styles of puppetry and artistic expression to create works that inspire, promote social change and are deeply rewarding for all involved. These styles include: giant puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppetry, masks, stilt dancing and anything under the sky that strikes our fancy.
Our vision is inspired by our love for the earth and its creatures (including humans). We will synthesize many art forms including, but never limited to, sculpting, painting, dance, music, improvisation, costume design, set design and theater. We are committed to creating multi-scaled and multi-disciplinary puppet performances that support this vision.
They perform at various venues throughout North Carolina from August till late September.

The Christmas gnomes have come out from under the stairs for another year. This is a small selection, I’ll show the whole collection a little closer to Christmas. Yes, I may need an intervention : )
I strive to give to others a sense of sacredness, because an art event is not just a formal fact but also a moment where you put a mark on your dedication. You must have a feeling of joining a tribe where there is the stick of command, because you are in a sacred place with its rules…

“I do not like it.
The situation is all but under control. Nothing could spoil this harvest save one circumstance...
The she-human must be relieved of the she-spy's gatemaking device before she learns of its existence, or as soon as possible...whichever comes first. I trust you will impress upon the target replacer the importance of discretion, Commander.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. It will be confiscated while she is in the unconscious state the humans call 'sleep'.”
Mushroom mycelia (can you believe Reldan thought they were roots?) make an excellent fire...so warm. A perfect ending to another hard day of walking. So tired, though...
Tomorrow we're leaving this desert...
“Good night, Reldan. Are you going to sleep?”
“I was going to keep watch; I'm not too tired yet. Good night, Quane.”
Clearing a space in the sand...curling into a ball...ahhhhhh.
…
Wha-
What the...my bag is moving...Reldan?
“Reldan? What are you doing?”
“Aaaaaugh! Nothing...”
“Were you...searching through my stuff?”
“No, not searching, no. I wanted some water.”
He's holding something small and black...hiding it from me? He's not supposed to keep any secrets from me...
“What's that?”
My now-piqued curiosity outstretches an arm and sends my fingers probing toward the object he's trying to hide behind his back.
“Please, I don't want you to hide things from me; you can trust me...Reldan!”
He tries to back away but I move toward him and he unbalances, dropping it.
“No!”
Light-a rectangle of light?
Yes-springing out of the black device. I walk over to look.
“Come back, Quane, it's dangerou-”
Arms sprout from the glowing polygon and grab at me...my legs...IT'S GOT ME AAAAAUUUUUGHHHH
Reldan is rushing forward to help me, but...it's too late.
A heavy something is hitting my head and-

I'll be honest, I don't like having to doll up the photos this much. Seems sort of like cheating. Regardless, there won't be any more glowing mushrooms to edit in the future, hopefully...
Besides the usual complaints about my self-inflicted post-production torments, I genuinely hope this does not confuse you. It is not meant to; I'm beginning to wrap up the story arc.
Hi guys :)
Thanks alot for all comments and faves on mye previous shots :)
I wish you all a wonderful weekend :)

Solar Union: TEM 12th Company “The Green Monster”
The explosive situation in Tau Ceti has deteriorated enough to warrant intervention from the Solar Union, and all of the local forces seem to have lost their heads. The UMFL division on Alicanto is a hollow joke, with most of its members having deserted or joined the ASDF. Instead of acting as peacekeepers (and guarding their Transit Gate) the pampered flyboys of the TTM have gone to picking sides in a potential interplanetary civil war.
Someone needs to be the adult in this room, and that’s exactly the type of thankless job that ends in the lap of the Terran Expeditionary Marines, and their 12th Company. The Green Monster is one of the better-equipped TEM companies, having recently transitioned from their old ST-09 Rumble Monkeys to the cheaper and sturdier Lockon-compatible standard, supplied by Stratos Avionics Corportation, Sigma Inc., and Icarian Heavy Industries.
Their mission is simple: suppress all armed conflict in the Tau Ceti system--with force if necessary--and remind everyone involved that above all else, they are all citizens of the Solar Union. Now they need to act like it, or else.

Frescoes on the ground floor, painted in the first decades of the sixteenth century to recall the visit of 1444 of the King of Denmark Christian 1st, represent a formidable testimony of the life at the court of the warlord Bartolomeo Colleoni - Castle of Malpaga
Il Castello di Malpaga è certamente una delle costruzioni più tipiche della Lombardia, per l'interesse architettonico, per le vicende storiche che vi si collegano e per i richiami dell'antica vita di corte che evocano una grande figura del quattrocento: il condottiero bergamasco Bartolomeo Colleoni.
Nel 1456 Bartolomeo Colleoni acquista il Castello di Malpaga dal Comune di Bergamo per 100 ducati d'oro. Ma il Castello, con l'invenzione della polvere da sparo non è più difendibile.
Da qui nasce il grande impegno profuso dal Colleoni per renderlo difendibile con una serie di interventi quali l'innalzamento delle mura, la costruzione di alloggi per le truppe e di un secondo fossato. Il castello viene circondato con abitazioni per i suoi armigeri, scuderie e porte fortificate, rendendo il complesso una cittadella altamente inaccessibile.
The Castle of Malpaga is certainly one of Lombardy's most typical buildings, for architectural interest, for historical events linked to it, and for the recalls of the ancient court life that evoke a great figure of the fourteenth century: the bergamasco warlord Bartolomeo Colleoni.
In 1456 Bartolomeo Colleoni bought the Castle of Malpaga from the City of Bergamo for 100 golden ducats. But Castle, with the invention of gunpowder, is no longer defensible.
Hence, the Colleoni's great commitment is born to make it defensible with a series of interventions such as raising the walls, building housing for troops and a second moat. The castle is surrounded by houses for its armed forces, stables and fortified gates, making the complex a highly inaccessible citadel.
This sculpture greets you at the entrance to the Cheekwood Mansion. It is part of Karen LaMonte's show in Cheekwood's "Interventions" series. Cast white bronze.
I know they are working out the kinks and everything, but I just had the notion to make this. I used a few highlighters. Perhaps I need help too.

A spectacular sunrise this morning captured just outside Leavenworth, Washington. If you are wondering how the fall color is coming along there...do yourself a favor and go now.
My friend Adrian setting up tripod for the sunset,he has not seen this sculpture yet ,but soon does. We had a great day , and this was the icing on the cake . Sitting on a rock watching a lovely sunset, what absolute bliss.
Rugged wall detail of what was Bankside power station's oil tanks, now part of the Tate Modern. Herzog and de Meuron's 2016 refurbishment left much of the raw concrete untouched, although this polished aggregate infill looks like an intervention. London Borough of Southwark
Every beginning has an end - every end is the beginning of something new. That is a beautiful fact as it supplies us with life, change and diversity. While the natural order of things is convincing, the intervention of the human species does not always provide us with a logical outcome.

One of British Transport Police's lovely new Ford Ranger Emergency Intervention Units is seen here parked up at British Transport Police's base at Waterloo Station, London. These vehicles have replaced the Nissan Pathfinders. My thanks go to the people crewing this vehicle for allowing photos and switching the blues on.
