Self-Taught Artist Ben Young Layers Glass Sheets Together To Form Ocean Waves

Sydney-based artist Ben Young creates astonishing glass sculptures that look just like ocean waves. Young puts layer upon layer of hand-cut laminated glass sheets and then hand-carves them into waves and other water forms.

The artist turns the glass sheets into water by hand, drawing, cutting and crafting them from the beginning to the end without the use of any computers. The planning and sketching are the longest and most difficult parts.

Young has spent most of his life by the sea so he has always been inspired by the ocean. It comes with no surprise, then, that he focuses on the sea, trying to capture what he has seen during all those years near the ocean. “I love watching the two dimensional shapes evolve into three-dimensional creations and the different way the light plays inside the glass,” writes the Young. “I love the liquid qualities the glass brings with it. It enables me to play with lighting and watch the glass react.”

E-waste equals e-art by Steven Rodrig

Steven Rodrig is a Cuban-born “inventive and environmentally conscious artist” who transforms e-waste into an array of sculptures including insects, flowers and cityscapes (to name a few). He refers to his work as “PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Mixed Media”.

“It seemed a waste to me to have these individually perfect pieces discarded,” he says.

His vision of the circuit board is described as “an organic living functioning system compacted into a concise physical universe.”

From an early age, Steven created art using unconventional materials. His technical process and imagination received a good workout while he studied mechanical structure at Aviation High School in New York. Repairing computers and other electronic equipment further enhanced his skills.

“My goal is to manipulate each PCB into becoming an organic life form where PCB characteristics become part of the living fabric helping to shape its meaning. Part of my discovery has been to develop special tools and use other tools in an unconventional way in order to manipulate each circuit board to form something other than what it was originally intended."
