Shadow Play

February 5, 2010

Kumi Yamashita is a Japanese artist who creates incredible silhouettes of  women using ordinary objects like paper, wood, building blocks and numbers.

You’re the Fleet Admiral of the Navy in World War I. Your ships are being sunk at an alarming rate by the devastatingly effective German U-Boat. The traditional camouflage isn’t working because your environment (sea and sky) changes with the weather. What do you do? Hire naval officer Norman Wilkinson to paint your fleet with bright, loud colours and contrasting diagonal stripes, making it incredibly difficult to gauge a ship’s size and direction.
