Josie Morway’s “Watershed” at Thinkspace Projects

 

Currently on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California in their project room is artist Josie Morway’s solo exhibition, “Watershed.”

Morway’s paintings are fragmented narratives, inspired by everyday words and phrases that bombard us – old signage, broken billboards, overheard conversations. Morway is of the opinion that omissions tell half the story.

Substituting animals for human characters in her visual narratives, she explores gestures, postures and expressions that are familiar and universal but at the same time ambiguous.

The exhibition will be on view until February 22nd, 2020.

This new ‘battery’ aims to spark a carbon capture revolution

 

Chemical engineers at MIT, have created a new battery that can remove carbon dioxide from the air at any concentration, or from mobile sources like cars and airplanes.

Renewable energy alone is not enough to turn the tide of the climate crisis. Despite the rapid expansion of wind, solar and other clean energy technologies, human behavior and consumption are flooding our skies with too much carbon, and simply supplanting fossil fuels won’t stop global warming. To make some realistic attempt at preventing a grim future, humans need to be able to physically remove carbon from the air.

Last July, photographer Reuben Wu and a crew of around 30 people hiked from the Peruvian city of Huaraz, nestled in the Cordillera Blanca region of the Andes, to the 16,000-foot-high Pastoruri glacier. The hike took around four hours and the crew arrived after sunset, finding the melting glacier lit only by a full moon.

Home in Marlborough, New Zealand

This spectacular construction is embedded into the mountain, and is surrounded by thick vegetation. It was built on several levels to adapt it to the unevenness of the terrain. From there, the views of the sea and the mountains that surround it are simply spectacular, and it is definitely one of the great advantages of this house.

 

 

The view of the calm waters – which during daytime reflects the sun and during nighttime reflects the moonlight – could not be more relaxing.

It was designed by the architectural firm Parsonson Architects in 2016. Located on Kenepuru Road, in Marlborough, New Zealand, the home consists of 500 square meters.
