自然，不自然。

 

Unnatural Nature

自然非自然

Would you be surprised if I told you this beautiful nature is not really natural? Have you immediately thought of Photoshop? Don’t rush to conclusions. Some people’s imagination and talent go far beyond understanding.

       当我告诉你这些美丽的自然景色都不是真正的自然时，你是否会感到惊讶？你是不是立

马想到是PS的结果？不要这么快下结论。因为某些人的想象力和才能远超过了我们的想象。

Some of you may have seen our post about

Matthew Albanese amazing works, but this one includes his best works and the making of.

       你们中也许有看过我们的关于Matthew Albanese 神奇作品的报道，但是这一篇中包含了

他最棒的作品和制作过程。

"DIY Paradise"

Made of cotton, salt, cooked suger, tin foil, feathers & canvas.

“DIY天堂”

由棉花、盐、煮过的糖、锡纸、羽毛和帆布制成。

 

 

 

 

"Icebreaker"

25 pounds of suger cooked at varying temperatures. It's basically made out of candy, salt, egg whites, corn syrup, cream of tartar, powdered suger, blue food coloring, india ink & flour. Three days of cooking, and two weeks of building.

“破冰船”

       用了25磅在不同温度下煮过的糖。这幅景观基本上用了糖果、盐、蛋清、玉米糖浆、

塔塔粉、糖精、蓝色食用色素、印度墨水和面粉。材料烹饪了3天，用了两个星期搭建

完成。

 

 

 

“Everything We Ever Were“

 It took two months to store up enough fireplace ash to create this lunar landscape. The darker rocks are made of mixed tile grout, flag crumpled paper and wire. The Earth is a video still projected onto the wall. Inspired by the Apollo 11 mission.

“我们永远是一切”

       这用了两个月的时间来收集足够的壁炉灰来制造这个月球景色。暗色的石头是用混合

填缝剂做的，旗子用皱巴巴的纸和电线做成。地球是投影仪投在墙上的影像。这个作品的

灵感来源于阿波罗第11次任务。

Tornado is made of steel wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.

龙卷风是由钢丝绒、棉花、欧芹和青苔做成的。

Paprika Mars

辣椒火星 

Made out of 12 pounds paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder and charcoal.

 用12磅辣椒、肉桂，豆蔻，辣椒粉和木炭制成。

“Breaking Point"

“突破点”

Volcano made out of tile grout, cotton, phosphorous ink. This model volcano was illuminated from within by 6-60 watt light bulbs.

火山由填缝剂、棉花、磷墨水。该模型火山从内部有6只60瓦的灯泡照明。

 

"Salt Water Fall"

Model made out of glass, plexiglass, tile grout, moss, twigs, salt, painted canvas & dry ice.

The waterfall was created from a time exposure of falling table salt.

“盐制瀑布”

模型由玻璃、有机玻璃、填缝剂、青苔、小树枝、盐、手绘帆布和干冰制成。

瀑布是由长时间曝光下落的食盐拍摄成的。

 

Fields, After the Storm

风暴后的田野

This model is simply made out of faux fur(fields), cotton(clouds) and sifted tile grout(mountains). The perspective is forced as in all of my imagas, and the lighting effect was created by simply shifting the white balance.

       这个模型就是由人造毛皮（田野），棉花（云）和筛选填缝剂（山）制成。我的所有

的作品都是通过这种方式制成的，灯光效果只需通过变换白平衡来创建。

 

Aurora Borealis

北极光

This one was made by photographing a beam of colored light against a black curtain to achieve the edge effect. The trees were composited from life (so far the only real life element in any of these images) The stars are simply strobe light through holes in cork board.

        这一次是对一个黑色的窗帘拍摄彩色的光束产生的边缘效应。这些树是从生活中复合

的（迄今只在这个图像中有真正的生命元素）。星星是频闪的光通过软木塞板孔创造的。

 

Waterglass Mountains

水玻璃山

This one is a mixture of many different materials, tile grout, moss, bottle brushes (pine trees). Actual clippings from ground cover and was built on top of standard outdoor  table (water glass). The sky is canvas painted blue. Coloring was again achieved by shifting white balance. 

这一幅集合了很多不同的材料：填缝剂、青苔、瓶刷（松树）。这是在实际照片剪辑后加上

水玻璃的效果制成的。天空是由涂成蓝色的帆布做的。最后的颜色还是通过调整白平衡获得

的。

 

Planet

 

星球

This was another experimental view of Mars. The materials are paprika, cinnamon and chili powder (planet) and coffee and sugar (starfield) were sifted over the floor of my studio. The planet was photographed from 12 feet in the air. Although it looked cool, I abandoned this flat method of modeling because in the end I felt it too illustrative next to all the other landscapes.

       这是火星的另一个实验性视角。材料是：胡椒，肉桂和胡椒粉（这三样构成了星球）还

有咖啡和糖（星际），都筛在我摄影棚的地板上。这个星球是从12尺的空中俯摄的。虽然这

看起来很酷，可是我还是放弃了这种平面模型的方式，因为到最后我觉得这个和其他的景色

比太直观了。

“Wildfire"

“野火”

Diorama made from wood, moss, yellow glitter, clear garbage bags, cooked sugar, scotch brite pot scrubbers, bottle brushes, clipping from a bush in bloom (white flowers) clear thread, sand, tile grout (coloring), wire, paper and alternating yellow, red and orange party bulbs.

       制成火景的材料有：木材、苔藓、黄色闪光、干净的垃圾袋、煮过的糖、苏格兰布利特

的刷锅洗涤器、瓶刷、灌木丛中花丛剪纸（白花）、干净的线、沙子、瓷砖填缝剂（着

色）、电线、纸张和交替变换的黄色，红色和橙色的舞会灯泡。

 

 

“The Beginning”

“开端”

Ground made of parsley bush clippings and moss (trees) Tile grout (mountains) & cotton for clouds in the distance. Dry ice was used for the atmospheric perspective.

      地面由欧芹灌木丛剪成和苔藓（树木）、填缝剂（山）和棉花（远处的云）。干冰是

制造大气用的。
