This weekend I was in NYC for the Build a Nest city board retreat and met many amazing women who knew about many fabulous things. One woman at the retreat told me about her friend’s paper company, Loop, and gave me their card. Not realizing that I have a love of repetitive artwork and borderline obsessive repetition, she was telling me about something I find very cool!
The pieces are turned into wrapping paper, notepads, cards and prints. I like the one above because it looks like grains of rice, all nearly arranged.
Elissa, the woman behind Loop, draws all of these pieces by hand. I wish they had the above circle-y one in a print but it seems that the print series is pretty limited. They remind me of Meander in some ways.
So beautiful! When I graduated from Skidmore someone did a line / ink drawing for their senior thesis in the art department – I always thought that it took such discipline to do those types of works and I’ve certainly been into them more and more lately. Including wanting to buy a diptych line drawing of downtown Boston for the new apartment.
The above though is by far my favorite – looking like honeycomb, how could it not be! My love affair with bees and the little worlds they make is not news but this piece really shows why! This in print form or better yet wallpaper form would be fabulous.
