Spotlight Artist: Karl Baden

Karl Baden the Photographer.

His work is just so extraordinary. I have never seen anything like it. And that is beautiful. It's only so many times you see something new in the art world, so when it happens, it is just mind blowing. It makes me utterly excited to see new processes and forms of art that has never even been in my dreams before. So, I honestly and whole heartedly, congratulate this man and his eye and mind. Just beautiful. 

Here is his blog, http://kbeveryday.blogspot.com/, which chronicles one project of his; which is taking a picture of his face every day since 1987, Feb. 23. (which coincidentally was the day the Yuma Symposium started so that was kind of cool) This project has appeared in many galleries and exhibitions and the installation is always different on certain milestones, i.e. 10th Anniversary of project.





These next projects are the ones that put me in awe. I have never seen anyone create 2D sculpture within multiple photographs. It is all so new to me. And, he did it all with parts of his body!

Butterflies! Ahh So beautiful and precious! They always remind me of how life is magical, through the good times and the not so good times, and to always take a break to watch a butterfly cross my path, no matter what. Without those breaks, I cannot truly appreciate her beauty and simple personality.

Some Facts about Butterflies:
  • There are 24,000 species of butterflies.
  • Top butterfly flight speed is 12 miles per hour!
  • They cannot fly if there body temperature is less than 86 degrees.
  • And butterflies can see red, green and yellow. (Whoa, Artist eyes!)
