I love how modern these textiles works by Eleanor Anderson look but I really can’t find out too much about her online. I found out about her through the even-awesome, Textile Arts Center where it appears she’s a resident right now. As I got to digging around though it appears she’s far younger than I […]

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of a surprise trip to Switzerland! I went over for about a week and loved it – I didn’t know what I was in for but it was beautiful. We went to Yverdon-les-Bains, stayed in Geneva for a few days, went to Montreux to see the Castle of […]

My parents are big into native american vessels. Growing up we had an entire room filled with pieces that were woven, clay, leather, you name it. When I saw Rina Peleg’s work I was immediately brought back to time in our TV room – the only room where things in our house were kept behind […]

A lot of the ceramics I look at are porcelain, delicate and, in many cases, many small parts make up a whole. In the case of Gabrielle Baëcile though, none of this is the case. Her work is sculptural, has a density to it, and reminds me of coral. From what I can glean from […]

Subodh Gupta’s work involves a lot of welding/soldering, which I’m into right now. I can’t find too much out about this New Delhi-based artist but I love the scale and the techniques he uses for his works. Te above, UFO, is made up of many of the same item (in this case a metal saucer/bowl) […]

Oh Pinterest, how I love thee – another day another inspiring piece of installation art! This time the artist is Wendy Wahl, who creates installation art pieces using recycled encyclopedias, world books, and dictionaries. How cool are those? They’re like trees made of paper…how meta is that? Wendy talks about it as a process of […]

I have been trying to be a bit more active on Twitter these days – reading more but also sharing more things that I find. One person I came across was Erin Loechner who writes Design for Mankind. I found out about her through Rue Magazine’s Twitter and after many an hour on her site I […]

A mini-lifetime ago I lived in Telluride, CO and worked at an art school called Ah Haa. Annually they have an art auction, which is a huge fundraiser for the school. Local and nationally recognized artists donate works that are sold in both a silent and live auction format, and some of the pieces are […]

A few days ago I came upon the site Artsicle, a NYC-based startup designed to encourage art collecting. You can “rent” a piece of art (in NYC) for $50 and then, if it works in your home, buy it! It’s like Rent the Runway for artwork, which is a great idea! While I was trolling […]

I feel like I’ll be apologizing for delayed posting for a while now — with moving back to Boston things have been a little hectic but I attended an event last night in Brooklyn that I had to post on. The event was held at the old Invisible Dog factory, which was a popular 70s […]
