"Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed."
Genesis 2:18-25
Ingrid Dabringer has shifted her interest from maps to x-rays in her recent work with some really intriguing results.
Dabringer on her work:
Body of Work is a presentation of colourfully illustrated X-rays presented on hospital imaging light-boards. As an artist I am continuously interested in the tools of humanity. Through the use of X-rays, shapes are created through the imaging and flattening of the human body. An entire alternate reality emerges through how humanity sees itself and the structures it uses for self-analysis.
Human tools define our civilization’s values, progress and intentions. By using X-rays I am able to quite literally comment on how we see ourselves. Importantly, it’s also how we see ourselves when the “chips are down,” when we’re vulnerable. North Americans are systematically taught to look for answers outside of themselves; to trust empirical evidence over intuition. Yet with x-rays it comes full circle in that we go outside of ourselves to look inside ourselves. And, although the natural organic lines and forms of anatomy are lyrical and soothing, they also speak to our human fragility…

Earbud / Headphone Adapter by JC Karich
The work of chilean-born, paris-based designer JC Karich, ‘ear adapter’ lets users adapt their devices to their listening habits by transforming earbuds to over-the-ear headphones. While earbuds are extremely portable and offer a focused, isolating sound experience; Karich reflects that headphones are often more comfortable, and permit a user to listen to music without completely blocking out his environment, if desired.
The current design of ‘ear adapter’ is available on thingiverse for users to 3D print themselves.

thank you
Today I heard the most beautiful prayer someone has ever prayed with me for…
“God help me love her as Christ loved the church…”.
If I ever, ever feel that you don’t love me, dear Lord help me remember this moment.
