As I get more and more into crochet and what one can do with it I find myself learning about pretty odd things – one being The Institute of Figuring, which has an amazing section on hyperbolic space and its representations in crochet and how that can be used to represent Coral Reefs – see […]

When I was at college studying art and art history at Skidmore in upstate New York I spent one semester learning about contemporary works. In reading New Material as New Media: The Fabric Workshop and Museum, which my parents gave me for my birthday, I was reminded of Mona Hatoum – the British/Palestinian artist who […]

Nora Kogan’s line, St. Kilda’s, is as enchanting for the work she produces as for her personal story. Having lived in Odessa, Italy, Australia, and Japan amongst other places all before moving to New York it’s hard to pinpoint the largest influence on her work but by looking at the pieces you know that they […]

This weekend I was down in Baltimore for my brother’s fiance’s bridal showers. I met my mom on the train from New York to Baltimore as she was down in Philadephia to see various art exhibits with my father and uncle and aunt who were in from San Francisco. She immediately started showing me photos […]

I came across British artist, Richard Sweeney, somewhere along and adore the patterns he creates, largely out of paper. His paper folding technical skills speak for themselves as pieces of wall art, sculpture, and X-acto tactics. The below would make […]

Mitra Fabian’s work was directed to me given my interest in Tara Donovan – the works in many ways actually cross Tara Donovan’s and Emily Barletta’s to me both in terms of their materials and their representations. Many of the pieces reflect organisms, both benign and malignant, that they may represent. The use of materials […]

After coming upon Dominic Wilcox’s bowl made of melted tiny soldiers I did some recon on other works of his. Naturally I was incredibly drawn to Nimbus, a light he created out of polystyrene balls in 2002. A few of his works actually conjured up memories of Tara Donovan and her creative use of everyday […]

The online shop, Droog, brings together many designers that I normally may not have come across. What first led me to it was seeing this Hare Mat in a photo of someone’s apartment. My first and only pet in my life was a rabbit once upon a time and this large mat reflects my longstanding […]
