When life is found through facing death creatively

In 2003, 31-year-old actress/photographer Kris Carr was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer. Weeks later she began filming her story. Taking a seemingly tragic situation and turning it into a creative expression, Kris shared her inspirational story of survival with courage, strength, and lots of humor.

When it reminds us how with others we can move mountains

Tara Donovan's work uses everyday manufactured materials such as Scotch tape, Styrofoam cups, and drinking straws to create large scale sculptures that often have a biomorphic quality. Donovan chooses the material before she decides what can be done with it. She thinks "in terms of infinity, of [the materials] expanding."

La vérité des corps: Ron Mueck est un sculpteur australien hyper réaliste. Ses sculptures reproduisent le corps humain dans ses plus minutieux détails grâce au silicone, à la résine polyester et à la peinture à l’huile. Derrière sa précision clinique, un goût du morbide transparaît, à travers la déchéance de ses corps obèses et vieillissants accentuée par leurs dimensions anormales.

Carole Feuerman is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s most prominent hyperrealist sculptors.

Cécile, alias "Hyena"

"I "believe" in the craft revolution and I think it is our future. The handmade and eco-friendly life is the only alternative to the consumerism destroying our planet and the living beings surrounding us."

A colorful artist at soul

Katwise

My life has not been terribly ordinary, and I guess I am pretty grateful for that. I have been waltzing around the planet for years now, trying not to listen to all the people who insist that I ought to settle down. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to remember that a life lived in the pursuit of joy is just as valid (or more!) than a life lived in the pursuit of money. While looking for a job recently, I realized how much of my life I try to hide, so that I seem more "normal". And then I decided, to hell with that!
My life has been gorgeous, and I am proud of what I have lived, even if it looks a little weird on a resume. So, in defiance to the establishment, I made a resume that listed some of the things that I am most proud of - adventures, joys, tragedies endured, and little moments that just made me feel alive. Enjoy! Click on the links to read the full stories. Kat O’Sullivan
