Exploring Diverse Materials for the Heart: Inspiration and Reflection

Recently, as we've been exploring rendering, textures, and the like, I've been pondering the materials for my heart project. Along the way, I came across some really cool artists and things that got my creative vibes going. So, let's take a peek at these fantastic discoveries:

Spike Blackhurst's "Against All Odds": Spike Blackhurst's "Against All Odds" is this intriguing sculpture that blends ceramics and metal to vividly illustrate how emotional abuse can impact our inner selves. It's all about diving into emotions, understanding their strength and fragility. Spike Blackhurst's ideas really sparked my thoughts on incorporating emotions into my heart model and experimenting with various materials.

Anne Mondro's Art: Anne Mondro's art dives deep into the human body, exploring both its physical and emotional aspects. Her works feature hollow and chain designs that offer fresh insights into materials, structure, and visual effects. While the hearts in her pieces are solid in material, they convey a sense of being woven from flexible steel. This aligns with my vision for a 3D heart model that combines softness and resilience while expressing emotions and symbolism. Anne Mondro's work has been a powerful source of inspiration for my project.

Moreover, I'd love to tell you about a couple of other artworks that really caught my eye with their unique material choices. Lisa Nilsson, for instance, creates these mind-blowing anatomical cross-sections using strips of paper – the level of detail is just jaw-dropping.

Then there's Annie Cattrell, who crafts a delicate glass sculpture that captures the essence of breath within a human lung using traditional lamp-work techniques. Even though these materials aren't directly linked to my current project, they send a beautiful message – our bodies are incredible and invaluable. Nothing, not even the most advanced machines, can match the wonders of the human body. So, let's cherish and take care of ourselves!

every day I am trying to recreate the perfection of my masterpiece, this tiny bunny I made

[image descriptions: a gif of a tiny, minimalist porcelain bunny with delft blue markings rotating slowly around, and an image of the same bunny sitting on a Twinings Winter Spice teabag. She is so small that she fits inside the Twinings logo.]

#she is the most perfect thing I've done......#I mean I have other favorites but look at her. every single line of her is perfect. the proportions. the colors. the expression.#ceramics #ceramic sculpture #porcelain sculpture #bunny #bunny sculpture #not for sale #(she will be on my desk inspiring me for as long as I live)

Linda Flynn-Fletcher

I think Linda Flynn-Fletcher is potentially one of the most misunderstood characters in the show.

It think comes from a natural enough place. Her role in the show is of course, to act as the potential threat to their summers of fun. While they boys never see her as a threat, narratively she's the big bad. If she sees it, its game over.

Here's the thing though. She's a not a bad mom. Her children LOVE her. Similarly to how Phineas and Ferb absolutely adore Candace and would do nearly anything she asked, Phineas, Ferb and Candace all love and respect their mother and don't disobey her. Now a bit of this is clearly Linda being a more permissive parent, but any rules that Linda has Phineas and Ferb never do anything to disobey their mother. While I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two instances where Candace disobeyed her mother willfully, the closest I can think off off hand is Candace not doing a bunch of chores that she was supposed to do. Really, the fact that all her kids love her, shows how much all her kids feel loved in their household. And I think that's super important. Candace wrote a song about how much she feels loved by her mom, even if her mom is dismissive of Candace. But she still goes with Candace to see what the boys are up to even if she doesn't believe it. She sets boundaries on how often Candace can bust the boys sure. But she hasn't forbidden Candace from doing it altogether. Nor does she punish Candace for presumably lying?

At MOST Linda will say something like: "let's get you out of the sun" after a failed bust. The worst of it I think is probably the time Linda made her promise not to try or suffer the Pharaohs curse. Which, was just some guy in a Pharaoh costume telling Candace curse you. Linda goes out of her way to read books to try and deal with her daughter. She and Candace still clearly hold a lot of affection for each other and do spend a decent amount of mother daughter time together. Linda gives books to her daughter, tries to direct her to other activities, and finds her sleep busting cute, and sometimes goes out of her way to do activities her daughter wants to do with her. All things considered Linda is REALLY patient about Candace's busting. Could she be doing more to get to the bottom of why Candace is presumably acting out? Sure. But Doofensmirtz could also be doing a better job of listening to his daughter and not insulting her (or do we not remember why Vanessa wears earbuds around the house) but we all call him a really good dad.

A LOT of shows have kids hiding a secret from a parent for one reason of another. But while the crux of the show rests on Linda not knowing what her sons are doing, its not because its a secret. The boys aren't hiding it from her. The boys genuinely believe she knows. Lawrence genuinely believes she knows. Candace is the only one in the family who really grasps the situation.

Linda's ignorance, her disbelief of the wild shenanigans that her children get into is easily mistakable for normality. For representing the oppressive day to day. The same thematic antagonist as school. A mom who wants whats best for her kids, and thinks that whats best for them is them being normal, without realizing what's really best for them. After all why else we saw what would happen if she found out in Quantum Boogaloo. But the fact of the matter is aside from that one future (which also featured an effectively evil leader in Doofensmirtz, and therefore implies more factors at play than just Doofensmirtz and Linda's characters), we don't really know how it would play out in the long term. Future Linda even just kinda moves on after discovering the truth.

Linda is exactly like her kids. She just does the same things on a less physics breaking scale. The woman has like 37 different hobbies. She takes a cooking class, donated an art sculpture, is part of a jazz group. She has a background in astrophysics. She was a pop star. She won a meatloaf contest. She takes french lessons. The fact that Linda has several hobbies is part of the reason the formula works at all. Linda is constantly trying new things which gets her out of the house, while her sons are trying their own new things. Her absence is what prompts Candace to have to go looking for her. Also, What Do It Do when the moment Linda gets put in Candace's position she acts the exact same way.

Also it's why she and Lawrence are so compatible. They have a lot of weird hobbies they spend together. She likes Lawrence's history references. They watch car racing together. They went spelunking together. They go bowling regularly enough to have equipment. She has played the bagpipes while Lawrence danced (which sidenote: do you think she taught Candace how to play the bagpipes?).

Not to mention her extended family. Think about it. Her mom was a competitive roller derby skater who once bit a skate and shook it like a dog with a chew toy and pulls elaborate pranks with her identical twin. Really she's a lot like Candace with her aggressive passion. Her dad apparently won a balloon race, but tells the story in the most straightforward way possible, sometimes very oblivious, but is overall a lot like Phineas. Her sister is an adrenaline junky. And back to Quantum Boogaloo for a minute: Her granddaughter is just like Candace, Grown up Candace is a lot like Linda. Do you not see the implications!!?!?!? LIKE???? DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT LINDA WAS PROBABLY A LOT LIKE CANDACE AND PHINEAS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!!?! YOU THINK IT SKIPPED A GENERATION OR SOMETHING???

Do you think Linda used to complain about Tiana??? Do you think Linda thought her family was weird and was embarrassed by them??? Do you think Linda ever called herself the only mature/normal member of her family?? LIKE CANDACE DOES????

Anyway, Linda is just like her family. Sure, she is RELATIVELY more normal, but that's relative, and probably simply because the universe bends itself around to keep her from knowing. Linda literally cannot find out about the real nature of her universe. Linda is just a grown up version of her children, seeking to make the most of each day, but within the bounds the universe has set upon her, both as an adult woman and mother, but also in the laws of physics expected of her. But she still makes the most of her life. You don't have to build a roller coaster to make the most of each day and all that.

I think if Linda is representing anything its that even parents can have rich fulfilling lives. Where they make the most out of each day. Having fun with your life doesn't stop with adulthood. Even if you have more responsibilities doesn't mean you can't have fun? Sure childhood is something you can't get back but growing up isn't inherently bad either?

#pnf #phineas and ferb #linda flynn fletcher #The woman is a former pop star #and has a secret background in astrophysics #you would think that would be enough but nooo #i generally don't care to comment on the suspected neurodivergent status of cartoon characters #because neurodivergency exists in the context of society #and cartoon characters exist in a completely different context #and when characters are inspired by real people (like Linda being inspired by Dan's sister) it can get messy #but if Phineas and Candace and Doofensmirtz are ADHD so is Linda #she just has adult woman flavor ADHD #aka the reason that woman and girls go underdiagnosed or are often diagnosed with anxiety instead #I think we often don't recognize how frequently she forgets things #I'm thinking back to that one time she forgot the “stuff” at the grocery store #she stayed up all night making last minute pies #working up to the deadline on an art sculpture #at one point runs out of contacts (presumably because she forgot to get more)#gets overwhelmed when planning the block party #and that's just what I can think of off hand #anyway I will not stand for Linda slander

Mosstoads 🌿 Toads are looking to be adopted and hop into their new homes, go see them at nymla.se 🐸

What are suitable toad names? What would you name a toad? Perhaps, Bertram or Brynhilda? Apparently I think B is a toady letter, hmm...

When the warmer weather begins to come back to Ottawa, the tiny Snats begin to creep out of their winter dens!

Here's the first round of Snats (Snail Cats), including the one I made who's loosely inspired by @crittercrew's silly man Arthur (last two photos)!

It'll still be a week or more til the shop update, but I promise I *am* working on it!!

I loved Louka Anargyros's ceramic sculpture collection "Locker Room" so I was looking through his Instagram. He had posted pictures of when he conceptualised the piece and I kid you not Marc and Vale are literally tacked on the board. Their gay ass podium selfie is literally on the inspiration board, plus their leathers.

#I scrolled through his ig and was like #hold awnnnn a minute that looks familiar #I love this with my whole heart btw #I got some more pictures from the earlier pieces he did I am pretty sure one is directly inspired by Vale's Yamaha leathers #I am crazyyy about this btw I need alllll of you to see and process this #valentino rossi #marc marquez #dani pedrosa #louka anargyros #louka Anargyros you have given us so much #the locker room piece was acquired btw so good for him #it genuinely was great #rosquez #motogp #motogp exhibit #sculpture #art #vale #not the first time their gay ass has inspired a bunch of art tho
