New York or Tokyo, San Francisco or Hong Kong, Miami or Mexico City, Copenhagen or Frankfurt - you can recognize each of them in these carved sculptures depicting models of modern metropolises. An eclectic mix of buildings of varying heights, widths and shapes, these are carved wooden sculptures from the series The city series from an American sculptor James McNabb … What we see today as sculptures from The City Series started out, in fact, trite and even boring. James McNabb carved shaped furniture blocks from wood, and when a batch of 250 unique pieces was ready, he joked that this is how modern skyscrapers in the city center might look like. And now, after some time, this accidental joke turned into the truth, except that the skyscrapers turned out to be small, wooden, and no one lives in them. In addition to the muse of a talented sculptor.
Not recognizing simple solutions and forms, the sculptor looks for extraordinary and unexpected images to bring his creative ideas to life. Therefore, carved sculptures in the form of a cityscape are designed in the form of a huge wheel, like a dining table or a bookshelf, as well as other strange objects of impressive size. And this all fits into the author's concept, which is based on the opinion that a modern city is a territory of endless possibilities, you just need to be able to use them.

Carved eggs, openwork shell. Brian Baity's incredible work
Surely many of you still have eggs in the refrigerator after Easter. Maybe boiled, maybe raw too. It's not for me to tell you what dishes can be made from eggs, but I know who can turn eggs into something more interesting than scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs or "into a bag". For example, paintings from eggshells are created by the Muscovite Lyuba, and lace sculptures from the same shells are created by the artist Gary LeMaster.

Artfully carved spoons from the Lost & Found series by artist Anneke van Bommel
When you come across things called "well forgotten old", this is always a vast field for creativity, which, for sure, at least once, but everyone had to do it. A blouse thrown onto the top shelf and safely forgotten will one day take on a new meaning in combination with a vest, a wooden box accidentally discovered in a closet has a chance to become a creative box, and cutlery longing on the mezzanine, donated a long time ago by someone (or someone) from relatives can
