You can barely see it, but there’s string at the top of that sculpture. These are the works of Anthony Gormley, who has been sculpting for decades. Many of his pieces are figural representations but those are not the ones I like best, I like these geometric ones far better. I’m not sure if they’re […]

Part computer scientist, part architect, Marc Fornes is all awesome. He builds “large scale prototypical installations” – my favorite. The pictures don’t do them justice. I’m not sure what these are made of – plastic? I love them – you can really get inside them – the feel like part of a set for a […]

Absentee blogger alert! As many of you know I quit my full-time position in Early April and was thrilled to have more time for things like blogging and volunteering but, as often happens, the work I am doing on my own totally consumed my mind and my interest and the blog bore the brunt of […]

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.

I think I should have realized this soon – crochet looks like chain mail and knitting too in some instances but definitely crochet. I know the stitch is called chaining and I guess the thought has crossed my mind before but the work of Ruth Borgenicht really drove this idea home. She creates chain mail […]

I have been MIA! Going off on my own and working for myself was a quick way to re-engage my mind out of a bit of dormancy, however, it has also meant less time than I expected on my own things – like the blog. Good thing there are incredible people over on Facebook sharing […]

My parents are big into native american vessels. Growing up we had an entire room filled with pieces that were woven, clay, leather, you name it. When I saw Rina Peleg’s work I was immediately brought back to time in our TV room – the only room where things in our house were kept behind […]

Rare is it that I’m not writing about sculpture here on the blog but when I saw Jonathan Delafield Cook’s charcoal drawings I was blown away. When I saw their scale I was even more impressed! The above is from his Nest series and is 78×82 centimeters – that’s huge! And it’s all charcoal. Some […]

Fenella Elms’ porcelain wall art pieces embody many elements that I love – they’re undulating, made up of many pieces, and take time and patience for their creation. I’m not quite sure how these are made. I think they are little porcelain chips almost that are sewn onto linen and put onto a board. I […]

Today (at the end of the day) I need a little inspiration. As exhilarating as being off on my own again is, I need to remind myself to take advantage of this newfound flexibility and be sure to blog, look at pictures, and be inspired! That will continue to lead to better product for my professional me. […]
