Robotic clothing made out of silicone, glass and Polyvinylidene fluoride have been added with electronic devices making each piece of the garment react to its surrounding colour spectrum.
The Montreal-based Fashion Designer, Ying Gao, titled the collection ‘flowing water, standing time’, with the aim of capturing ‘the essence of movement and stability over a period of time. Gao also wanted to focus on the flow of ‘energies’ through a garment, and mirroring the colours in its immediate surroundings.’
This project was inspired by neurologist Oliver Sacks’ novel, The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, in which he relates the story of Jimmie G, a 49-year-old former sailor convinced of being aged 19 since having left the Navy.
Shocked by his own reflection when Sacks hands him a mirror, Jimmie reverts to his 19-year-old self as soon as his gaze leaves the reflective surface. Having lost any sense of temporal continuity, Jimmie lives as a prisoner to this single, perpetual moment, oscillating between a presence to the world and a presence to self.
Reflecting the characters journey throughout the novel, the garments perpetually change between two states as they react to the chromatic spectrum. ‘In order to echo this varying mobility, the garments are capable of chromatic movement, said Gao. ‘Capable of recognising the colours in their immediate surroundings, they are at once liquid and chameleon-like, adapting to the slow rhythm of their ever-changing environment.
‘A mirror effect is at play – the garments are reacting to what they see. Much like Oliver Sacks’ patient, they alternate between what they are, and what they can potentially become – all the while embodying the inherent complexity of all things.’

DESIGN - “Waltz” Reflective Cups Patterns
Japanese design brand D-Bros has imagined the tea set “Waltz”, featuring little cups in porcelain reflecting graphic patterns drawn on the saucers with anamorphosis effects. The cups are sanded and covered by a chemical substance called “palladium” : a rarer metal than platinum and gold. You can buy cups on their shop. l Via Fubiz.

Elain and I have been talking about this concept for quite a long time now, after I showed her some ideas with metallic body paint. Elain has such a statuesque figure, and that was only enhanced by the shimmery, shiny gold with which we covered her! Thank you very much to our assistant Dave without whom the shoot would not have been possible!
We both hope you enjoy the photos, we sure had fun creating them!
Thanks so much to the $10 supporters who made this possible!

Golden Navel - See the rest of this shoot at patreon.com/neilcreekI’m still so pleased with how these photos came out! Miss May has a stunning physique and the reflective gold paint highlighted all of her shapes and curves so beautifully. She truly looked like a statue cast in gold. It is the human figure at its most simple: no colour, no blemishes, no marks, just shape and volume, light and shade.

It’s weird how things have come full circle.
I quit my job last May because of a horrible boss (think late 40s, serial killer mentality, totally devoid of a soul). I started this blog on the first day of my new found freedom. I hoped to remind myself of why I loved photography.Exactly one year ago, I lost a family member to cancer. Soon after I spent 9 months wandering and adventuring around some of the most amazing parts of the world.
I arrived back home from travelling exactly one year after my last day at work. One month later, I get a call from some of the guys at my old job. Firing the horrible boss, we want you back.As I sit at my desk, looking back at the last year of my life…boy it’s been an amazing adventure.
With tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. Life is good. Life is one big crazy, amazing adventure.
Foolish Wisdom
There was a time when I wrote down my thoughts more consistently and I kept track of my daily and weekly reflections.
Nowadays it feels like I have nothing new to say- and it kind of makes me feel like perhaps that is because there has been no new major developments in my life.
The piping hot steel from the forge has finally cooled, and it has solidified into a casted shape after many years in the flame.
Of course this is entirely untrue.
Yet somewhere along the way, it seems as though I had lost my voice- and the willingness to reflect, share, and discuss in great depth the contents of the new lessons I have learned in the past few years had been less of a priority than had been before.
Perhaps because a lot of what I have learned during the recent years had less to do with theories and abstract ideas from books or insights, and had more to do with things having to be learnt through the bitter taste of experience.
A good portion of my years from my late teens to my early 20’s had been about philosophical inquiry, and re-evaluation of belief, identity, and purpose through reflection- but it seems as though many things in life cannot simply be learned through insight- that life ultimately requires us to participate, and we do not have the luxury of time to wait for when our lives will really begin.
If there are some nuggets of wisdom I had hoped to share since the last time I wrote anything here, I guess it would be:
1) Question everything, but decide on something
2) Anything worth doing, is worth doing- even if done badly in the beginning
3) Do not let hate, jealousy, and conceit turn you bitter, resentful, and cruel
4) Life has a way of making everyone out to be fools… so
5) Find a way to understand people’s pain rather than judge them, to prevent your own further suffering
6) Learn to fail, so you do not fail to learn
7) Understand that whatever you define yourself to be, is most likely not what you actually are
8) The world doesn’t owe you a thing, so find ways to consistently be grateful that it is ever any good at all
9) Once we dispel our own illusions, we are all naked, vulnerable, and ignorant
10) What you resist will persist, and the thing you need is in the place you don’t want to look
11) Be careful to not take your own opinions and views about the world as fact
12) In a world filled with undeniable evil, pain, and suffering, ideals that reflect true compassion, love, and good-will towards others is never overrated
13) Do not let cynicism fool you as wisdom, however..
14) The fool is the precursor to the savior- learn to be a fool, for the fool can learn to be wise through his folly
15) Everything written here is incomplete, and is subject to change
