Meredith Woolnough’s entire collection of work is worth looking through if you love textiles and embroidery but her mandala series is my favorite.

I really can’t find out too much about Katrien Vogel but that doesn’t stop me from loving her works. She is based in the Netherlands and was a part of the 2012 Paper Biennial Rijswijk at the Museum Rijswijk as well. Amoebas!

There is a blog – I think based in France – which I’ve mentioned here before, Murmure Visible. The writer, Marie-Andree Cote and I share a similar taste in artists. I often find new artists on her site and see ones I’ve written about on hers as well. I have no idea if she’s ever […]

My job is an odd one as I spend 99% of my time talking about technology and various Internet and mobile companies and another 80% of my time (everyone works more than 100% of their “allotted” time I believe) writing here, working on the yurt and volunteering with parks groups.

In the spirit of that I thought I’d do a horticulturally inspired post and Susan Benarcik’s work fit the bill. I’m fairly certain those are everyday toothpicks glued to the wall in an irregular pattern. […]

Karen Margolis uses circles in her work (both positive and negative) and it’s amazing what she can do primarily with just that one shape. The circle to Karen represents “infinity and perfection” rooted in Zen Buddhism. She says on her site that, “The Enso, Japanese for circle, is my inspiration for imagery.” and in the […]

When you paint paper and then form it into sculptures on wood armatures is that painting or sculpture? Does it matter? Is it both? Such is the questions that came up when I saw the works of Lauren Clay that I love most. The below, to me, made in that very way, looks like a […]

It’s a barnacle bonanza over here tonight – thanks again to the people of Pinterest I came upon the work of Jessica Drenk tonight in all of its glory. Jessica takes everyday products from pencils to coffee filters to mops and creates the most amazing installations, wall art pieces and smaller sculptures. As I should have […]
