I have no idea how I haven’t heard about New Orleans native, Zoe Williams, until this week – needlefelting to the limit, I love it. I must get 50 or 75 newsletters a day and there are some I never open but Lost at E Minor has some really crazy stuff and this week, Zoe […]
I’m horizontal on my couch this afternoon after a morning adventure to the new CrossFit location here in Boston – wow, what a killer workout. Since I’m largely immobilized and it’s a semi-holiday here for MLK Day, I’ve been perusing the internet and came upon Hong Seon Jang. As the lover of unique uses of […]
Nnenna Okore uses mostly biodegradable, recycled materials to create her amazing sculptures and wall art / installations. I was looking at artists using repetitive patterns and came across the Nigerian-born artist’s great pieces. Made of paper, wax and thread the above piece, “Abandoned History” is quite large, 60 x 70 x 10 inches in depth. […]
When I came across Andrew Myers work my first thought was, this is something I would see over at Colossal, one of my favorite art and design blogs. Andrew’s work takes such patience to create, screwing in the screws, painting them, making sure they’re even and at the right depth, etc. He’s great about showing […]
It seems like everyone else knows all about Petah Coyne, she has an amazingly informational Wikipedia page and tons of images on Google – I love it. Her sculptures include tons of different regular and not so regular materials as well as taxidermy animals, wax, repetitive patterns, etc. You can see in this close up […]
The Hallway Gallery in Jamaica Plain has a new show up right now, Katrine Hildebrandt. She uses paper cutting as her medium and she does incredible, ocean-inspired work. That’s seriously cut paper. She calls it Yupo Paper, which I had never heard about before. I quick spin through Google explained that it’s a synthetic, water […]
I love art built in nature and on Pinterest the other day I came across Laura Ellen Bacon’s work from the UK. Her “Nests” are made from natural materials set in a way where people can interact with them within their surroundings. I love that you can’t really tell the difference between the leaves and […]
Next week I’m having people over for a non-profit meeting on Monday night and, as I walked out of my door this morning I thought, I hope no one cares about all of the animal-related items around the house. We have a cowhide rug and a paper maiche rhino head, ram’s horn lamps and impala […]
It’s been a crazy few weeks! We got back from Chicago and work, which is normally somewhat quiet around the holidays was anything but – more on that later! As a result I’ve been absent but it seems like my efforts to add SEO tags to my old posts is proving worthwhile – many people […]
