Jennifer Prichard works out of her studio in Austin, TX, J Prichard also making textured porcelain tiles but taking it to a new level with amazing wall installations as well. […]

While I know I’m late to the party again, I recently discovered StumbleUpon and have lost countless hours to the Stumble button. It’s addictive. The other night, deep, deep in a hole of of the internet I came upon this post on a blog called BumBumBum and the work of Heike Weber, I was floored. This piece is […]

Another artist I learned of via the Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive show was Jill Townsley. At first on her site I was thinking, where is her work that puts her into this category but then I decided to get in the “way back” machine and see what she was up to in 1992. The above piece […]

I was drawn to his pieces for a few reasons – scale, material, shape. The above is from his Scum series, which is mixed […]

I’ve been busy on projects for our home, which include sewing curtains, cleaning the oven (it was a process), patching holes in the master bathroom (after therapeutically removing the drywall mollies), and more. But I’m back and in the time I was absent from posting, Tamara Magel’s […]

All the way from his new home in the Netherlands, my brother’s friend Neil sent me a New England artist last night who is right up my alley, Amy Eisenfeld Genser, who he found on Design Milk on Friday. Her work is both repetitive and pattern-centric – two of my favorite things – and she […]

Sometimes I wonder how I don’t know so many awesome artists exist already until someone points them out to me. That’s exactly how I felt the other day when Charlotte told me about an exhibit she saw at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The artist’s name is Rachel Perry Welty and she is actually […]

I have been so busy over at The Yurt Alert I’ve been derelict here, however, I also have had a lull in stumbling up on such inspirational and amorphous works as I typically post. One I have been meaning to post I learned about at Make the other day, that of Henrik Menne. His works […]
