Miami vibes in anticipation as a new massive sculpture by Dan Lam is slated to be unveiled at Wynwood Walls for Miami Art Week this year. Join us as we discover the story behind "A Subtle Alchemy" and dive into Dan Lam's world of creativity, challenges, and her exciting collaboration with Wynwood Walls. What's the inspiration behind the title "A Subtle Alchemy," and how long did the sculpture take to create? Dan Lam (DL): The title of this piece was inspired by the unique properties of the paint used. The paint has a color-shifting effect that can change depending on your perspective. For instance, it may appear purple when viewed from one side and green from another. My intention was to create an illusion where the sculpture seems to subtly change when viewed from different angles. It took a total of two and a half months to create the piece. The skeleton is made of metal and covered with EPS foam, which was then sculpted to create the drips. Epoxy clay and resins were used to reinforce it. The majority of the work involved sanding the piece, which is the least glamorous part of the process but the most necessary to achieve a smooth finish. The piece was originally 2 inches, then recreated into one of your biggest sculptures being over 8 feet tall - why did you choose this one to transform? DL: I was inspired by the shape and form of the miniature model, and I immediately thought it would be perfect for someone to walk underneath it. I really enjoy playing with scale, and the idea of transitioning from 2 inches to 8 feet is quite exciting! What are you most proud of with this piece? DL: I am most proud of the physical labor that went into creating this piece. It's extremely satisfying to see it come together and be showcased in a pristine location. How did you like working with automotive paint for the first time and do you use this now regularly in your creations? DL: I had a great time! I'm quite experienced with using an airbrush, so there was some overlap with the spray gun, but overall the process was quite different and I enjoyed learning something new. There was certainly a learning curve, and I still have much to learn, but I'm satisfied with how it turned out for my first time. I haven't used automotive paint recently, but I plan to in the future for outdoor projects that require durability. How did the collaboration with Wynwood Walls come about? DL: The Goldman Global Arts team visited Dallas to oversee the creation of a mural in Deep Ellum by Tristan Eaton. While I was working on Subtle Alchemy, Tristan brought Jessica Goldman Srebnick and Troy Kelly by the studio and that's how we initially made contact. We have maintained communication and I was officially invited to showcase my work at Wynwood Walls this year. What does Wynwood Walls' "Power of Purpose" theme mean to you? DL: I believe the theme speaks to the core of why artists pursue their craft. Despite the possibility of working in solitude and without an audience, they are driven by a profound sense of purpose that is always present and propels them forward. It is this sense of purpose that compels them to spend countless hours in the studio, refining their skills and creating the work. What are you most looking forward to with this launch? DL: It's a huge honor for me to share this piece with Miami at Wynwood Walls and I'm simply happy about it! I also collaborated with the merch team to create some amazing products for the museum's gift shop, and I'm super excited about it. What do you love most about Miami? DL: Miami is a stunning city. One of my favorite things to do is watch cruise ships come and go against the beautiful city skyline, surrounded by the perfect mix of nature and city life. Social Media: @sopopomo By ML Staff.

Miami Living Magazine explores contemporary Australian artist Cj Hendry's latest venture into public art with the Hoops Tree. From the choice of Yves Klein Blue to the challenges faced in bringing this project to life, join us as Cj shares insights into her foray into permanent public art and the unique collaboration with the Miami City Council. What is the Hoops Tree and where is it located in Miami? Cj: This tree is a permanent public artwork consisting of 2 tonnes of steel moulded into a stylised multi arm basketball tree. This tree combines my passion for highly stylised conceptual exhibitions with the need to make my art more permanent and accessible to a wider audience. What is the significance of the Hoops Tree's deep blue color and why did you ultimately choose this color? Cj: The deep blue hue is Yves Klein Blue. In my opinion it's one of the most captivating colours ever developed. Seeing as this is my first foray into public art I thought why the hell wouldn't I mix the electric shock of blue with the significance of this piece. It also blends perfectly into the backdrop of the blue ocean and the rich blue Miami skyline. How long has the creation of the Hoops Tree been in progress and what are its distinctive features? Cj: This piece has been rattling around in my brain for many years but I couldn't quite place how to execute the concept. The actual production of Hoops has been the last 10 months. We have worked with a local fabrication company who was willing to take on the challenge of such complicated engineering as well as the vision for the art. What inspired you to venture into the public arts? Cj: I have built enormous temporary exhibitions for many years and I get frustrated building these enormous exhibitions and then having to tear them down. Permanent public art is the next step in enabling my ideas to live longer than a couple of days. Why did you choose Miami to launch your first public art installation? Cj: It was a perfect storm. Miami City council showed a lot of interest in this concept and it made sense to unveil it during Art Basel week. It's such a festive time to be in the area so why not get in on the excitement. How did the collaboration with the Miami City council come about, and what challenges did you face in bringing Hoops Tree to life? Cj: Honestly it happened organically. We spoke to a friend of a friend and we got introduced, one thing led to another and here we are. Talking about all the challenges would require a novel. I hope to never publish a novel so I guess I will have to take all the secrets to my grave. What are you most excited for with this project and launch? Cj: Actually seeing something so enormous in the ground. That will excite me! What do you love most about Miami? Cj: THE DRUGZ, just kidding. It's the laid back nature of the people and the overall atmosphere. It reminds me of our home town in Australia. Instagram: @cj_hendry By ML staff. Images courtesy of Cj Hendry Studio
