The Villages and Landscapes of the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands is an archipelago on the North Atlantic Ocean comprised of 18 rocky, volcanic Islands between Norway and Iceland. Kevin Faingnaert is a documentary and portrait photographer who lives in Gent, Belgium and thrives on shooting interesting people and places. He visited the Faroe Islands and immersed himself in the community to document the villages and landscapes of this remote land.

In the words of the artist Kevin Faingnaert:

In these clear and pristine landscapes, where villages with populations as low as ten huddle together on the edge of cliffs, I tried to reveal a community hanging on firmly to their roots and traditions, while underlining that one day these villages must inevitably disappear.

His images are also captured in the book Føroyar.

Tiny Intricate Treehouses for Houseplants

Los Angeles–based artist Jedediah Corwyn Voltz is a prop-maker for TV and film by day who has a charming side business making tiny treehouses for potted bonsai trees, cacti, and succulents.

“Building miniatures for stop motion always leaves me with a huge bin of scrap balsa, basswood, various fabrics, etc. and I found myself making little fantasy constructions out of that stuff during my downtime,” Voltz told The Slate in an email. “Those little scrap forts led to me building some more serious ones in little diorama settings, and last year I built my first living treehouse.”

The tiny treehouses will be on display (and for sale) at L.A.’s Virgil Normal starting April 23. Voltz is available for commissions in L.A. and is developing DIY miniature treehouse-making kits that he hopes to make available next year. Check out more of his work here.
