Looking like something out of a sci-fi film the size and scale of some of these works of art blows the mind away, let alone how they are made! After looking at all these images to come you will never look at a coffee stir stick the same way again.

8 – The main man
I love this image of Jonathan himself putting some of the finer details to his work of art. The look of contentment as well as concentration really shows how much emotion he puts into these art works. But to be fair all that effort always seems to pay off in the long run as they all look amazing.

Often with these works of art there are several tunnels of coffee cups and lids going to and from the main installation. It creates an almost dream like environment that is full of wonder and there to be explored and investigated.

5 – Keeping a lid on it
Do you see that main beam section going through the artwork? Well that is made from coffee lids! Hundreds and thousands of them. I just love how random everything is, but with some strange form of control and order as well.

4 – Parallel lines
The artist often points out that the art works are just collections of parallel lines much like it is in life. It does have to be said that the artist also gives a lot back to the city when it comes to his art works and has done several pieces that are for his local city and the people in it.

3 –Web
This is not one of the original press release images of the works of art, but instead taken by an observer at the Visual Art Center in Richmond. It really shows the web of stir sticks in great detail and gives a taste of what the atmosphere is like at one of the showcases events that Jonathan makes.

2 – Looking Up
There is something quite nest like and natural about Jonathan’s art works. I am sure there is a political message behind them all, but it falls aside for the amazement and wonder that comes with them all. I can only wonder just how long it takes him to make these.

1 – Lamp Shade
Well it might well have been the worlds biggest lamp-shade, but call it what you like, this stunning art installation really shows just how big Jonathan’s art works are! That whole ceiling balcony part dripping down parts all around made with nothing but wooden coffee sticks simple blows my mind. Please do take the time to visit the artist’s website as he not only has many, many more in this amazing style, but also works with other mediums as well!
