I think Hyacinta Hovestadt might be the hardest artist to track down that I’ve ever blogged about. I can’t find a website of her own but I can find many videos and fans of her work throughout a variety of sites. That could be because of the material she uses, recycled corrugated cardboard. I’ve written […]

When I came across Andrew Myers work my first thought was, this is something I would see over at Colossal, one of my favorite art and design blogs. Andrew’s work takes such patience to create, screwing in the screws, painting them, making sure they’re even and at the right depth, etc. He’s great about showing […]

It’s been a crazy few weeks! We got back from Chicago and work, which is normally somewhat quiet around the holidays was anything but – more on that later! As a result I’ve been absent but it seems like my efforts to add SEO tags to my old posts is proving worthwhile – many people […]

I can’t find as much out about Hannah Verlin as I would like. She is showing with Michelle Lougee at the Boston Sculpture Gallery right now but her website won’t let me click on its links. Both a blessing and curse – her work is, as a result, able to speak more for itself. This […]

Last night Charlotte sent me a great find – Michelle Lougee – a sculptor showing at the Boston Sculptors Gallery through June 28. For the obvious natural elements I think Char thought her work would be up my alley but in reading more about her I realize that a lot of her work is focused […]

I saw the coolest thing mentioned really quickly on Daily Candy today and I had to know more about Jennifer Kellogg’s Noodle Necklace. She cast various noodles in 10k gold and sells each noodle individually. While these necklaces don’t come cheap – the one above with 10 noodles would fall somewhere around $10,000 – they […]

I’m not sure how I found out about Carrie Ungerman the other day but I can’t stop looking at her works. In comparison to the world of Extreme Knitting she utilizes very modest, fluid, delicate lines to create large scale works. I particularly like her use of threads, while again in large quantities, they have […]

Mitra Fabian’s work was directed to me given my interest in Tara Donovan – the works in many ways actually cross Tara Donovan’s and Emily Barletta’s to me both in terms of their materials and their representations. Many of the pieces reflect organisms, both benign and malignant, that they may represent. The use of materials […]

After coming upon Dominic Wilcox’s bowl made of melted tiny soldiers I did some recon on other works of his. Naturally I was incredibly drawn to Nimbus, a light he created out of polystyrene balls in 2002. A few of his works actually conjured up memories of Tara Donovan and her creative use of everyday […]

During my epic plane ride and blog catching up I also came across another artist who I find inspirational, Kwangho Lee. As I’ve been delving further and further into felting, knitting and crochet the idea of using new materials is one that has crossed my mind. Never did I think to use solid rubber electrical […]
