What’s not to love about microscopic, nature-inspired lasercut metal and wood veneer? That’s what I thought, nothing! I was so psyched to find the work of Kari Lindstrom – she’s a Brooklyn-based artist who makes incredible pieces showcases the crazy patterns that nature comes up with.

A short post tonight because I just can’t seem to find that much information about Shiwa Rashtian online, though I do love her creations. Her design studio is located in Utrecht, Netherlands and her pieces are largely functional.

When reading Myungjin Kim’s artist statement I knew right away that we would be fast friends – her aesthetic in a few words, “hand painted porcelain vessels.” Amazing. She usies instinct to form her vessels and creates, as she says, “inside/outside surrealistic dramas.” The above is a close up of the piece entitled, “Translucid Remains” – […]

It’s funny in part because Holly herself has worked in corporate and academic libraries for much of her career. How many of us haven’t wanted to tear up some of our work […]

I really can’t find out too much about Katrien Vogel but that doesn’t stop me from loving her works. She is based in the Netherlands and was a part of the 2012 Paper Biennial Rijswijk at the Museum Rijswijk as well. Amoebas! I went into Google Translate to try to figure out her materials and it looks […]

I’m not sure what I’ll do here on the blog if Neil leaves the Netherlands. Without him there I never would have heard about the 2012 Paper Biennial Rijswijk at the Museum Rijswijk in The Netherlands. But no need to worry because there were incredible artists there to keep me busy including Georgia Gremouti, a […]

Lots of things have been happening over here the last few weeks – from going away for Thanksgiving to getting engaged! Yay! Such a fun month but now, back to blogging Thanks to the ever awesome, Neil, I came upon Sigrid Neuwinger. I can tell you practically nothing about her or her work as everything […]
