What’s not to love about microscopic, nature-inspired lasercut metal and wood veneer? That’s what I thought, nothing! I was so psyched to find the work of Kari Lindstrom – she’s a Brooklyn-based artist who makes incredible pieces showcases the crazy patterns that nature comes up with.

I’m not sure what I’ll do here on the blog if Neil leaves the Netherlands. Without him there I never would have heard about the 2012 Paper Biennial Rijswijk at the Museum Rijswijk in The Netherlands. But no need to worry because there were incredible artists there to keep me busy including Georgia Gremouti, a […]

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 […]

I do have a habit of loving things that look like clouds here on the blog. I came across Angelica Bergamini’s work while poking around the site of Grey Area where “art is made functional and the functional is made art.” They work with many artists that appeal to me but none moreso than Angelica Bergamini […]

Bronwyn Oliver is a very interesting person to write about here. Her work, mostly sculptures in metal (copper) are beautiful and in many cases live outdoors in her native Australia. Bronwyn tragically took her own life about six years ago but has left an indelible mark on the sculptural world regardless. I love how the […]

You can barely see it, but there’s string at the top of that sculpture. These are the works of Anthony Gormley, who has been sculpting for decades. Many of his pieces are figural representations but those are not the ones I like best, I like these geometric ones far better. I’m not sure if they’re […]

Now that I’m back in Boston I’m focusing on the museums, artists, and groups around me as I’m sure you can tell a little. One museum that has several Pokate-bound artists in its sculpture park is the DeCordova Museum, outside of the city in Lincoln. One amazing sculptor on display out there is Tom Chapin, […]

In the last 24 hours I’ve spent time with two friends who are in the contemporary art world – one an old friend and one a new friend. Through the course of conversations with them both I was reminded about where I came from in an educational sense. I went to Skidmore, which I chose […]

Another great find at the SoWa Open Market this past weekend in Boston was Amy Jensen, a Boston-based jeweler who makes her pieces out of found items. At the market she was showing her subway token jewelry elegantly laid out on wood blocks over subway maps from a variety of places. I’m not sure where […]

Nora Kogan’s line, St. Kilda’s, is as enchanting for the work she produces as for her personal story. Having lived in Odessa, Italy, Australia, and Japan amongst other places all before moving to New York it’s hard to pinpoint the largest influence on her work but by looking at the pieces you know that they […]
