This is just the most interesting project by Jean-Pascal Flavien. He created a house that purposely creates problems for it’s inhabitants! The experiment is creatively titled the No Drama House.
The white house emerges by way of it’s layout as a series of successive problems. The problems interfere with the possibility of living comfortably and of things running smooth. The house is designed in an awkward fashion where you have to enter it by positioning a ladder and climbing through a small back opening. The narrow construction and distant location of the power outlets constantly makes you problem solve and figure things out. The original white art models offer several other architectural possibilities.
It’s a very thought provoking and interesting concept but I wouldn’t personally volunteer to live in the No Drama House! What’s your take on the concept?

Was getting my Etsy fix when I found this lovely little white porcelain flower sculpture called Grace. The detailing is soft and just right!
Designer and creator Elizabeth Prince designed the little white flower using the delicate ‘pinch pot’ clay technique which allows the petals to become super thin. This unique method makes her porcelain petals closely resemble the real thing. When put against the sun, the detailing of the flower wall art almost becomes translucent – the effect is stunning! I have to agree with Elizabeth, a grouping of these little darlings would create the most wonderful effect.

We were fortunate to stumble on this very talented and gifted artist on Twitter. Julie works almost exclusively with white, creating works that truly inspire and challenge the mind.
From her bio – “Julie Levesque has been building a body of work that is primarily concerned with motion and the fluid transformation of energy into inanimate objects. The imprint of this emotion distorts their shapes creating a narrative of the essence of the people who have had contact with them. Slumped, eroded or enlarged, emotion/energy is made visible in ways that never physically show in the body but reside there nonetheless. Working almost exclusively in white, she creates tension and contradiction by draining the color out of these energized objects.”
We spent some time browsing her online portfolio and were intrigued & invigorated by her wonderful sculptural work.
