My latest Hermitage Collection piece is this windmill inspire by the historic windmill in Quebec province on the Isle aux Coudres.
The other buildings pictured are from my Medieval Stone Village set. I plan to make the accompanying watermill as well. :)
About the windmill:
The Isle-aux-Coudres is located in the St. Lawrence River three kilometers from it's north shore.
In 1815, famine struck because there were no efficient grain mills on the island. The inhabitants often had to go to Baie-Saint-Paul or Les Éboulements, in spite of the dangerous canoe crossings.
In 1825, the Séminaire de Québec, Who had lordly rights over the island, agreed to the building of a water mill. Over the years, however, the water mill proved to be inefficient, so a windmill was built on the same site in 1836. In 1850, the Séminaire de Québec sold both mills to private concerns.
Several owners subsequently operated them, including Marie-Anne Desmeules who took over after the death of her first husband.
Until the early 1900s, both mills were in operation, and complemented each other. The arrival of large flour mills marked the new century and caused a progressive change in the types of crops. Land and sea transportation greatly improved and traditional flour mills gradually became obsolete.
Because it was no longer profitable, the water mill was transformed into a sawmill around 1920. It was in operation until 1948. The water mill and the windmill were respectively designated as historic monuments by the Québec ministère des Affaires culturelles (now ministère de la Culture et des Communications) in 1962 and 1963.
In the 1980s, the mills were restored, keeping in mind their original characteristics. Both are once again operational. Over 500 000 people have visited the site since it opened to the public in 1982!

The stuff that keeps me away from flickr..!
..architecture studies ;)
This might become a case of tl;dr, but if so, don't ask me what it is ;)
Normally when we do photography, we "find" our subjects. Or they are "given", or presented to us. Not so often do we create them. Photographing architects are among those who have that rare pleasure.. But even then the subjects are usually made for an entirely different purpose and the photos are just representations of them. In the previous semester in my architecture studies, I had the rare pleasure of exploring photography as a tool in itself. to -not take- but actually create photographs that was just that -images. This was done in combination with physical models in cardboard, plastic and similar. Sometimes the model served the photo, other times the opposite.
The course I participated in was called Studio B3, a highly abstract, experimental, pedagogic and philosophic course. The main aim is for the students to explore their own creative process -to discover where the ideas come from and how to develop them. To kickstart this they usually have a main theme; in later years a series called "The New Collective"; a search for a new relationship between architecture, nature and culture, through one specific subject -this time; Garden, previously; network, market, scene, dwelling, workplace etc..
So what are these images? They are photos from some of the 15 physical models I made only for the sake of translating the vague images in my head into a format I could communicate. Some of the photos are just representations of the models, but which I enjoy as photos nonetheless. Most of them however, are as close as I could come to the images that intuitively emerged from my imagination when discussing "garden" in a wider sense.

I have a solo art show coming up next month at Flower Pepper Gallery in Downtown Pasadena, Ca.
Opening night for the show is Saturday, October 5th, from 6pm - 10pm. The show runs through November 15th, 2013. Check the Flower Pepper Gallery website for regular hours and for more information about the show.
The show is entitled, "Fleeting Moments - The Art of Randy Hage." The show will feature more of my miniature New York storefront sculptures as well as some other pieces, including a miniature sculpture in the style of Vhils and some Los Angeles inspired works. The gallery will also be showcasing my photography.
This year's show is a charity event. We will be donating all of the proceeds to the Rachel Ann Hage Neuro-oncology Research Fund benefiting Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
If you know anyone who might be interested in seeing my work, I would appreciate it if you would share this information.
Hope to see you at the show!
Randy
