I think Hyacinta Hovestadt might be the hardest artist to track down that I’ve ever blogged about. I can’t find a website of her own but I can find many videos and fans of her work throughout a variety of sites. That could be because of the material she uses, recycled corrugated cardboard. I’ve written […]

There are so many amazing people on Pinterest but one artist who I’ve been following is Mary Osmundsen. She recently posted a piece by Lee Boroson and I had to share this artist’s amazing inflated installations! The above piece is built out of nylon, monofilament, hardware, a blower, etc. – those are handmade clouds, inflated […]

Treehugger posted about an amazing paper artist yesterday – I had to share her here as well – I hope you like Valerie Buess, a Swedish artist, as much as I do! She takes books, disassembles them and twists and shapes them to create sea-forms, a favorite here. I also love the photography on her site […]

Oh Pinterest, how I love thee – another day another inspiring piece of installation art! This time the artist is Wendy Wahl, who creates installation art pieces using recycled encyclopedias, world books, and dictionaries. How cool are those? They’re like trees made of paper…how meta is that? Wendy talks about it as a process of […]

I love porcelain, but within the porcelain family there is a sub-category of bone china, which I think is even finer quality from a material standpoint. Chris Wight, who I learned about from the awesome blog, Murmure Visible, works with bone china to create amazing table art pieces that push the boundaries of the material […]

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 […]
