Using dismembered plastic parts from old dolls and other toys, artist Freya Jobbins assembles these exceedingly strange portraits of people and pop culture icons. Chances are when viewing these you fall firmly into one of two camps: the highly amused or the highly disturbed. Regardless, it’s hard to deny the incredible amount of labor that goes into each piece, from the exploration of form and the use of color to make each anatomical amalgamation. More

An up-close look at a sculpture made from discarded doll parts by Freya Jobbins. Referring to herself as a “plastic surgeon” of sorts, Australia-based artist and sculptor Freya Jobbins uses pieces of dolls and other toys to create eerie human looking faces, busts and figures that appear to be holding themselves together with their own inanimate plastic parts. Unlike many of her artistically inclined peers Jobbins didn’t start out as an artist and after figuring out that being a policewoman wasn’t as much fun as Angie Dickinson made it look, she decided to go back to school and graduated with a major in both printmaking and sculpture in 2004. Jobbins collects her materials from second-hand sources and her thought-provoking works conjure up a full range of responses from fascination to fear. Here’s Jobbins’ own take on her compelling sculptures: I am interested in generating a range of responses to existing cultural objects, which have been placed out of context. The irony of my plastic works is that I take a material that was created to be touched, and I make it untouchable as an artwork. Jobbins’ choice of materials help reinforce the importance of reuse...

Freya Jobbins likes to call herself a plastic surgeon. No, she's not also a doctor, it actually comes from her unique sculpture project, where she repurposes old plastic dolls into human-looking busts and figures.

Hylla IVAR! IKEA ikon firar 50 år I januari 2018 firar IKEA 50 år med IVAR, en framgångssaga och vardagshjälte som överlevt fem årtionden i allmänhetens tjänst. IVAR hylla är en kulturbärare i dubbel bemärkelse och förkroppsligar alla delar av IKEAs designfilosofi som vi kallar demokratisk. År 1968 placeras en namnlös lagerhylla av barrträ i möbelutställningen på IKEA Kungens Kurva i Stockholm. Den har tidigare levt en undanskymd tillvaro på avdelningen ”Marknaden” tillsammans med diverse andra produkter utanför ordinarie sortiment. Den enkla furuhyllans nya plats bland ek, teak och jakaranda väcker uppståndelse hos varuhusledningen. Men i vardagsrummen i Sverige gör den succé. – IVAR var som möblernas jeans i förhållande till kostymhyllorna som redan visades i utställningen. Vi behövde något som speglade tidsandan och nya stilideal, och IVAR blev bärare av det. Det var en olydig handling som ledde till utveckling och succé, säger Lennart Ekmark, IKEA inredaren som lyfte in IVAR i vardagsrummet och ut i rampljuset. Hållbar och livskraftigIVAR blomstrade på 70-talet, hade en dipp i slutet av 80-talet och slog nya försäljningsrekord på 90-talet. Idag står IVAR stark i en samtid där hållbarhet, flexibilitet och en vilja att uttrycka sig kreativt och personligt är viktiga värden kopplade till hem och inredning. – Om jag får välja en favoritprodukt på IKEA måste jag välja IVAR. Den har en enkelhet som är positiv, och uppfyller flera kriterier för hållbarhet, både med tanke på miljö och ekonomi. IVAR är inkluderande och byggbar på ett intressant sätt som gör att den kan förändras och leva länge. Det gör IVAR lika relevant idag som för 50 år sedan, säger Lennart Ekmark. I ständig förändring Genom åren har IVAR förändrats, utvecklats och haft många namn, allt från BOSSE, INGO (efter boxaren Ingemar Johansson) och UFFE. Men basen av ljust och förnyelsebart furuvirke där även mindre spillbitar tas till vara är sig lik. Det gör IVAR till en naturlig och resurssnål inredningsprodukt med många liv. I IVAR möts alla dimensioner av IKEAs demokratiska designfilosofi: form, funktion, kvalitet, hållbarhet och ett lågt pris. NyheterIVAR serie består idag av 29 olika delar som kan kombineras på otaliga sätt. Den 1 februari 2018 utökas serien med skåp och tillbehör i vitlackad metall. – Alla våra kunder har olika idéer om vad IVAR är. Vi vill förverkliga dem alla. IVAR ska inte kännas som en kompromiss för någon, säger Karin Blindh Pedersen, som arbetat med att uppdatera 50-åringen IVAR för dagens behov av mångfunktionell design. Grattis, IVAR! Om Lennart Ekmark: Lennart Ekmark är en nyligen pensionerad IKEA medarbetare som har varit en del av IKEA sedan tidiga år. Han började arbeta på IKEA Kungens Kurva som inredare och inredningschef, för att sedan gå vidare som varuhuschef, marknadschef för IKEA Sverige, affärsutvecklare och designchef för IKEA of Sweden. Om trä:IKEA älskar trä. Furu är ett snabbväxande, hållbart, förnybart och återvinningsbart material som åldras vackert. Vår IWAY-standard för skogsbruk ställer tydliga krav på allt trä som används i IKEA produkter. Förutom att alla leverantörer måste följa vår IWAY-standard för skogsbruk, ökade mängden trä från mer hållbara källor – återvunnet trä och trä från FSC®-certifierade skogar – till 73 procent år 2017. Vårt mål är att den siffran ska ligga på 100 procent år 2020.
Drink me!!! Famous from the Alice in Wonderland books and Movies Chapter 1 – Down the Rabbit Hole: Alice is feeling bored while sitting on the riverbank with her sister, when she notices a talking, clothed White Rabbit with a pocket watch run past. She follows it down a rabbit hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many locked doors of all sizes. She finds a small key to a door too small for her to fit through, but through it she sees an attractive garden. She then discovers a bottle on a table labelled "DRINK ME", the contents of which cause her to shrink too small to reach the key which she has left on the table. A cake with "EAT ME" on it causes her to grow to such a tremendous size her head hits the ceiling.
