The brainchild of Angus Hutcheson, Ango, creates some of the most beautiful lamps I’ve ever seen. I think my brother sent me these too – I believe they were also in the Dead or Alive exhibit at MAD in NYC recently. I’m just so thrilled with what they look like though I can’t recall! How […]
Michael, my brother, strikes again with an awesome exhibit that sadly just closed at the Museum of Art and Design called, Dead or Alive? From the show page I learned about some of the awesome artists included and one completely caught my eye, Tracy Heneberger. The above, for example, is amazing. Her use of natural […]
A new contributor to my little blog here is my friend Kathryn who is not only my upstairs neighbor in Boston but also an interior designer in training. Today she sent me an image of some gorgeous crocheted baskets at Design Within Reach, called the Neo Baskets. Upon reading the online description I learned that […]
My brother sent me an image of a “land pin” or Pinching Earth yesterday that he had read on a variety of sites online. After digging around a bit I learned more about the artist, Mehmet Ali Uysal. Turns out that Mehmet, a 34 year old Turkish installation artist, does some other really neat works […]
Another artist that appeared in the Material World exhibit at MassMoCA is Wade Kavanaugh and his collaborator Stephen Nguyen. They make absolutely awesome and massive installation pieces out of craft paper mostly. The above looks like a big red forest! Wade seems to individually work more with building materials like sheet rock, plywood and studs. […]
My brother’s friend Neil told me that he was going to Mass MoCA yesterday basically just to rub it in. He sent me the link to the show he was going to see, Material World: Sculpture to Environment, which looked amazing and was right up my alley. Many of the artists in the show I […]
I can’t find out too much about Erika from the Erikaceous blog but I do know that I love what she has created out of toilet paper rolls, which I discovered, via my brother, via Neatorama, today! So many people are doing such neat things with papercutting, many of which I’ve written about, but this […]
As a result of this blog and the work I’m doing over at the Yurt Alert, sometimes people reach out to me! These people are often other wonderful fiber arts experimenting in the medium somehow. This happened just last week when I got an invitation from Jennifer Raish, who has a show up, right now, […]
I learned about Yii when my brother sent me a link from MAKE of their brick and mortar bowls, below, but upon further investigation I learned that Yii is actually an initiative by the Taiwan Craft Research Institute. Some of their other pieces, in addition to the bowls, are out of this world — and […]
This was another find from my brother’s good friend Neil. And he is scary spot on to my interests at this point. I was in awe of every piece of Kate MccGwire’s work but I had to just keep a few pictures and examples. Her use of feathers is out of control — undulating as […]
