I recently gave myself a studio challenge: to create a work inspired by The Golden Ratio, the mathematical ratio that has inspired artists from da Vinci to Dali due to the belief that it creates the most aesthetically pleasing compositions. Inspired by the curve built into the ratio, I created this snoozy Curly Girl, blissfully catching some zz's as she rests on her pillow. I'm not able to catch a nap the way she is, but I'm glad I was able to take a traditional visual concept and make it my own.

- NocturneBy Paul JacobsenLocated in Denver, COInspired by scenes from iconic American landscapes, ranging from arid deserts to lush forests, Jacobsen delves into humanity’s connection to nature and the technology that often mediates that experience. Embedded in the works is the recognition of nature’s immense power in contrast to its quickening fragility. Increasingly, under threat from the continuing rollback of regulations and protections in favor of exploitation for commercial gain, the double-edged sword of technology and the legacy of Westward expansion continue into the present day. For Jacobsen, American parks act as a foil to European colonization and resource extraction. While the creation of National Parks may be one of America’s greatest innovations, in preserving these beautiful and once wild places, they are in practice reduced to roadside attractions. Jacobsen states, “By elevating these picturesque landscapes we also diminish our own place in them. No longer are we participants in the divine dance but instead menacing spectators observing from stadium...Category
