Vibrating mandala – without any moving parts

LB — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:57:20 +0000

Via my friend Stephen. If you know the name of the artist or designer, please comment.

This effect is, I believe, called visual vibration, though that’s usually achieved by juxtaposing particular colours, and here I think shape/form are playing a role.

I grew up with this psychedelic rocking camel, handmade in the late 60s/early 70s by B.C. artist/novelist Jim Willer. He called these “Bumpity Camels” and ours was one of a series—our cousins had one too.

Geometric mural in the basement of Vancouver City Hall

LB — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:05:42 +0000

[UPDATE: I was just informed by the artist’s son Guy that this mural is now threatened, after gracing the lowest floor of City Hall for over 40 years! It’s odd that the City now says it will demolish or paint over the mural, having recently asked Guy and his sister for a bio of their father, suggesting that City Hall had intended to preserve his work.
