I went back down the rabbit hole after a homemade dinner tonight and stumbled upon Tokyo artists, Kohei Nawa. I forget how I found him but it was on someone’s Facebook tonight! I was drawn to his pieces for a few reasons – scale, material, shape. The above is from his Scum series, which is mixed […]
In looking for more continuing education opportunities for myself around Boston I came upon MassArt’s upcoming Fiber Arts class on Sculptural Knitting, which would be one way to describe my yurt project. In the course description, there was a link to artist Nathalie Miebach, I assume because her work is some kind of awesome. This […]
Normally I hope to find artists under little hidden rocks or from link digging so deep I don’t know how I got there but today I came upon Allison Patrick in one of my usual and very public haunts, Etsy! I love looking at things for our apartment on Etsy and a lot of our […]
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 […]
We’ve spent the last week here on Nantucket and being on the water everyday has reminded me of a lot of things. One being a picture that my parents have in their house in Back Bay. The artist, a teacher of mine from middle school at BB&N in Cambridge, Kirk Goetchius, is someone who I […]
A show is opening on Friday in England that I would give an arm to go see. It’s called Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive and it’s going to be at Towner. There are some awesome artists in the show I’ve heard about like Claire Morgan and some I have never heard about before. One in particular was […]
Writing this blog has allowed me to meet some very cool people. Sometimes I find them and in some lucky cases, they find me. That is the case of Ingrid Stout. Think that website of hers is sparse? Perhaps it’s because Ingrid is just beginning her art career – she’s about to graduate from Gray’s School […]
Since we moved in together in the Back Bay, R and I have been exploring more and more together. Even though I’ve lived here all my life (our apartment is 5 blocks from my childhood home) and Ross has been here for a few years, it’s fun to get to go to familiar spots together. […]
A month has passed? I knew I was being a bit derelict about the blog but this is terrible – apologies. I’ve been bookmarking things left and right to write up but haven’t found the time. Work has been very busy, I had my five year college reunion, my brother had a baby – I’ve […]
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 […]
