Michele Poirier-Mozzone






If you're a art lover and you haven't heard the name Michele Poirier-Mozzone, it's about time you do. Know her work too, which is the definition of extraordinary. It is a marvelous capture of the figure influenced by water and its dynamic nature.

The human figure is a wonderful study anywhere, in almost every state. Water as a body is powerful, glorious, mysterious. This is probably why this series, "Fractured Light" will never cease to amaze and captivate, being a unique mix of two living forms (water and the human figure) that have inspired artists through the years. You want to know how she so successfuly captures gliding bodies in water which doesn't stay in one place either, how reflected and refracted light, dazzling colours are represented with paints, right? I would soak in the beauty of these pieces now if I were you and wonder about the process later. Her work can be seen online at poirier-mozzone.com and on her Instagram.

Delmaine Donson

I've always said art is not meant to just tickle or charm you. It should rip you open and give your fine head the chance to re-learn something, give you a fresh insight. So look at these representations of the black woman. What do you see? I see brown/black skin, glorious curly/kinky hair, sun, light and brilliant colours, I see beauty and a few things I can't name and I think this is the complete truth. What do you see? Cape Town based artist Delmaine Donson affirms that what she wants is to empower women of colour with her art, to influence people's perception of beauty in this age especially as it concerns women of colour. Aside from making interesting digital art, Delmaine is also a photographer. You can see more of her creations on her website and on Instagram. Photo Credit: Instagram @delmainedonson_art

This Farm In Benin is Africa's Model of Sustainable Agriculture

Songhai Farms located in the Republic of Benin is perhaps the number one model of sustainable agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. The farm operates on the principle of "zero waste' where every output is utilized in a way that there is no waste, and that sustainability is assured. Basically, it is a system that mimics the way our natural ecosystems work. Father Godfrey Nzamujo, an expatriate African priest and former instructor at UC, Irvine runs the agricultural estate which he founded in 1985 with the aim of tackling hunger and creating jobs, while protecting the environment. So far, it cannot be said that he has hasn't made good success in the actualization of this vision. Nzamujo has degrees in science and engineering including a PhD in Microbiology. He lives in the farm and regularly updates his methods.  In sustainable agriculture, the farming system operates in such a way that external inputs like synthetic fertilizers, fossil fuels and other chemicals w...

Nest-like Sculptural Installations of Laura Ellen Bacon

They scale and cling to buildings, walls, trees, and other living spaces like some strange yet truly relatable natural forms. Laura Ellen Bacon's sculptural installations are like enlarged replicas of those structures designed by smaller biological life forms like birds and insects. What makes her sculptures even more fascinating is the way they curl and weave across surfaces and appear like organisms that are alive, breathing. You'd think they are capable of shifting position on their own at anytime. A neat, exquisite emulation of nature! One would wonder how these sculptures are made. Well, first you have to know that Bacon's primary building material here are willow branches. And it's more than basketry really, even though the construction involves twisting, tying and knotting by hand and also with the aid of a few craft tools. What you have is actually a complicated system of weaves and knots coming together to present a solid, powerful, sinuous fa...
