The weird and the wonderful strikes again in the form of Caroline Cox, who by all accounts I should know of already. Edward Winkleman called her, “Williamsburg art world royalty” and that was in 2005 so I feel extraordinarily behind the times on this one. I should note that I write this as I sit […]

Today my mom and I went on a discovery trip around town! We have a wedding to go to in a few hours so had to hustle our way around the city to check out some of the cool new stuff we’d heard was going on. First stop was Room 68, a new store in […]

Sometimes I find artists online that make me wonder how on Earth I didn’t know about them already. My boyfriend refers to me as a “Page 5 Googler” as I’m known for my ability to dig into the deep internet to find stuff out…take that as you wish. Today was one of those days when […]

My brother sent me an image of a “land pin” or Pinching Earth yesterday that he had read on a variety of sites online. After digging around a bit I learned more about the artist, Mehmet Ali Uysal.

Another artist that appeared in the Material World exhibit at MassMoCA is Wade Kavanaugh and his collaborator Stephen Nguyen. They make absolutely awesome and massive installation pieces out of craft paper mostly. The above looks like a big red forest!

I feel like for this blog I have all sorts of people sending me wonderful artists that they think I might like — sometimes it’s a hit and sometimes it’s a miss but it’s turned out to be a great way to keep in touch with people. Neil, a friend of mine through my brother, […]

Another epic discovery over at Lost at E Minor today was their recently featured emerging artist that goes by one name, Jim. While the name is nondescript his work certainly is not. He creates skull-based works that incorporate fibers, found object like tea bags, what looks like plastic cording, paint, etc. I can’t even really […]

Now that I’m back in Boston I’m focusing on the museums, artists, and groups around me as I’m sure you can tell a little. One museum that has several Pokate-bound artists in its sculpture park is the DeCordova Museum, outside of the city in Lincoln. One amazing sculptor on display out there is Tom Chapin, […]

As we decorate our new place we have tons of artwork propped up against the walls that we’re trying to decide what should go where. Charlotte showed me one big piece she has a plan for the other night and it got me thinking — I have no room in my room for new things […]
