Shiota's work, and her performance art, has recently taken over spaces at KODE-Art Museum of Bergen in Norway, Museum Nikolaikirche in Berlin, Kenji Taki Gallery in Japan, and SCAD Museum of Art in Georgia. The artist was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

When we think of recycling or rather, reusing plastic and other nonbiodegradable waste, the maximum extent to which we go is to make an artsy project. Or otherwise, we will be using those disposable bottles and make a pen holder, or a makeshift vase. © Instagram/yunfengwan But what happens when you have had enough of one article after the other on your Facebook feed, saying how we have doomed ourselves and we are headed for Armageddon? What happens if you are an artist and you want to do something about it, even if it's just to make a statement and get people's attention to force them into action? © Instagram/yunfengwan Well, you do what Wan Yunfeng, a Chinese artist, and fashion designer did, and make some head-turning “clothes” that's fit for the best runways around the world. © Instagram/yunfengwan Taking the proverb “one man's trash is another man's gold” and giving it a new meaning, Wan created a number of gowns and traditional Chinese dresses. Showcasing his creations in a photo essay titled “Protection of the Ocean” Wan has used commonly found single-use plastic wastes, such as plastic bottles, polythene bags, and plastic ropes. © Instagram/yunfengwan Albeit his creations are more of costumes rather than proper dresses, they do make a resounding statement. Wan's creations are a blistering critique of people's propensity to consume mindlessly, with little to no regard for the environmental costs of that consumption. © Instagram/yunfengwan “I ask for materials from everyone. Some come from my daily life, some come from my friends. I also travel globally. I go to some antique markets and flea markets to buy things. You need to make it beautiful.” says Yunfeng, © Instagram/yunfengwan His 'statements', even though have a European silhouette, have tons of Chinese influences. In a different series which Yunfeng shot in Paris, he repurposed an old quilt into a rather majestic gown, that had a heavy Victorian aesthetic. © Instagram/yunfengwan As expected, his avant-garde expressions have been vocal of that one entity which have contributed the most to the precarious position the earth is in - big corporations. © Instagram/yunfengwan Taking Swedish furniture makers and household item retailing giants as an example, Yunfeng made a dress using Ikea's trademark blue coloured shopping bag. As per their sustainability filings for the year 2017, Ikea group and its subsidiaries produced a total of 590,254 tonnes of waste, of which about 70 per cent was reusable. But here's the catch - that figure also included the waste that was sent for incineration which generated power. © Instagram/yunfengwan To put that in perspective, New Delhi, all on its own, produces about 10,000 tonnes of waste, each day. © iStock It seems, that this country needs artists and designers, more than any other, right now.
An exceptional carved pine and aged decorated architectural mirror in the manner of Mathias Lock. The bold architectural frame featuring vigorous figural elements to its design such as an eagle cresting and herm pilasters, epitomise the early 18th century phase of Palladian-inspired classical taste in England, promoted by William Kent and his circle. Other details such as dense acanthus foilage and c scrolls to the surround and apron, anticipate the vogue for rococo ornament of the 1750s featured in the pattern books of Thomas Chippendale and his contemporaries. Bearded masks such as those frequenting the present mirror are also firmly associated with Matthias Locks Repertoire of ornament as typified by a drawing for a side table in the Victoria and Albert museum illustrated in Christopher Gilbert.

This is an extremely well-preserved North Shore piece with its original brasses. The crotch mahogany veneers are bookmatched, the top of solid mahogany, and the legs are of a beautifully tapered rope turning. The overall piece has a beautiful amber glow from an earlier time and has been waxed with no breaks or alterations whatsoever. Attached is a related dressing table with an earlier, Hepplewhite mirror on top of the dressing box. Generally, these pieces have larger independent looking glasses behind them. These dressing tables with full drawer and dressing box are quite rare and this is a superb example of the form. The uniformity of oxidization, original matching brasses, and elements of case design tell us quite clearly that the case and table are original to each other, and have no replacements. An examination report on this item by Philip Zimmerman, Ph.D. is available on request.
The oversailing cornice above a pair of panelled doors enclosing an interior with two shelves flanked by six massive tapering ebony columns with carved Corinthian capitals. Below a pair of conforming doors, the raised panels veneered with rosewood and ripple moulded ebony. The central panels on the doors with tortoise shell. Middle and lower drawer. The inside of each door inlaid with a geometrical pattern of rosewood. The back is carefully crafted with panels within frameworks. On six replaced bun feet. Herman Doomer was born in Anrath (circa 1595) just across the German border, but was recorded in Amsterdam in 1613, where he stayed until his death in circa 1650. Not much is known about Doomer, whose main reason for fame initially was the portrait painted of him and his wife Baertje Martens by Rembrandt in the 1640's (the portrait of Doomer is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the pendant of his wife in the State Hermitage, St Petersburg). More information can be gleaned from the four wills drawn up by Doomer's wife in 1654, 1662, 1668 and 1677; in her wills she mentions the two portraits by Rembrandt, 26 other paintings by Dutch contemporaries, and of course items of furniture. Amongst the furniture the most valuable item is a een groote ebbekas met parelmoer ingeleydt - A large mother-of-pearl inlaid ebony cupboard - which was valued at 945 florins at the time, more than half the total value of the whole inventory. Also in the inventory are mentioned two cabinets, one inlaid with tortoiseshell the other with mother-of-pearl, and valued at 250 florins each. The large ebony cupboard with mother-of-pearl inlays is almost certainly the imposing cupboard in the Rijksmuseum. It is possible that the mentioned cabinet inlaid with tortoiseshell is the present cabinet. In 1613 Herman Doomer started working as an apprentice to the ebbenhoutwerker David Stafmaecker, who begun working ebony in Amsterdam in 1590, and claimed to have taught all those active in this craft in 1625. The name Stafmaecker alludes to the limited uses that ebony was put to in the late 16th century - mainly staffs, small objects and decorative elements for furniture. In the early 17th century the VOC started importing larger quantities of this exotic wood and larger pieces of furniture began to appear - such as armchairs, picture frames and caskets. With this new development these ebony workers started using ebony veneers on oak carcasses, which brought them into conflict with the St Joseph's guild of cabinetmakers. This led to the creation of the ebony workers guild in 1626, after Stafmaecker refuted the protests from the cabinetmaker's guild stating that in order to work ebony and other tropical woods one needed totally different tools, Stafmaecker submitted his protest on behalf of Jan Willemsz. Bus, Herman Doomer and other ebony workers. This document shows that by 1625 Doomer already plays a prominent role within the group of Amsterdam ebony workers, his success is also reflected by the fact that he was able to buy a house in one of the streets between the Singel and the Herengracht, near the Dam square. Later in 1637 he bought a second house on the Hartenstraat, it was signposted "De ebbenhoutwerker". At this address, which was situated very strategic between the Herengracht and the Keizersgracht, he presented himself as one of the leading practitioners of the new craft, perhaps as the number one.. Cf. R. Baarsen, Wonen in de Gouden Eeuw Amsterdam, 2007, pp. 80-109, Herman Doomer en de Amsterdamse ebbenhoutwerkers.
