3D Artists

Steffan Dam

• Steffan Dam is a Danish artist who mainly works with glass.
• He has done work involving glass wunderhammers (glass cabinet of curiosity). 
• His wanderkammers usually contained: bottled marine creatures including jellyfish, fossils and egg specimens. 
• He likes the idea of a “creative area where art meets science”
• I really like this way of displaying something and I think its a brilliant and unique way of making something that isn't associated with art, into art.  

Biological Panel, blue.2009.

The thing I like most about this piece of work is that it’s all organised and has clean cut edges. I think the simply white background shows the specimens clearing and makes it uniform and pleasant to look at.

Maissa Toulet

• Maissa Toulet did a series of pieces all to do with the Cabinet of Curiosity. 
• She is based in Paris and mainly uses glass to encase her Curiosities. 
• She describes her pieces as "miniature museums". 
• I think keeping the background plain shows of the objects more and doesn't distract from them. 
• I prefer the work of Steffan Dam's work because I like that its organised and I don't feel that there is a noticeable organization to Maissa Toulet's work. 
• I do like that the objects have a link or they look like they should be in the same collection.
