The weird and wonderful are often the most fun and Stella Zhang’s installation pieces of fabric and what look like giant knitting needles definitely fits into that category. I like how she talks about using white for its flatness, delicacy, ethereal and quiet qualities. I have no idea how those are suspended. They look like […]

I do have a habit of loving things that look like clouds here on the blog. I came across Angelica Bergamini’s work while poking around the site of Grey Area where “art is made functional and the functional is made art.” They work with many artists that appeal to me but none moreso than Angelica Bergamini […]

Bronwyn Oliver is a very interesting person to write about here. Her work, mostly sculptures in metal (copper) are beautiful and in many cases live outdoors in her native Australia. Bronwyn tragically took her own life about six years ago but has left an indelible mark on the sculptural world regardless. I love how the […]

Rebecca Maeder online information is limited but her ceramics works are awesome. I have no idea how they’re made, but they look dipped to me over some sort of armature. I was thinking balloon or seed pod on the inside. But then they’re open on the bottom and I have no idea – back to square […]

You can barely see it, but there’s string at the top of that sculpture. These are the works of Anthony Gormley, who has been sculpting for decades. Many of his pieces are figural representations but those are not the ones I like best, I like these geometric ones far better. I’m not sure if they’re […]

I think I should have realized this soon – crochet looks like chain mail and knitting too in some instances but definitely crochet. I know the stitch is called chaining and I guess the thought has crossed my mind before but the work of Ruth Borgenicht really drove this idea home. She creates chain mail […]

I have been MIA! Going off on my own and working for myself was a quick way to re-engage my mind out of a bit of dormancy, however, it has also meant less time than I expected on my own things – like the blog. Good thing there are incredible people over on Facebook sharing […]

Fenella Elms’ porcelain wall art pieces embody many elements that I love – they’re undulating, made up of many pieces, and take time and patience for their creation. I’m not quite sure how these are made. I think they are little porcelain chips almost that are sewn onto linen and put onto a board. I […]

Today (at the end of the day) I need a little inspiration. As exhilarating as being off on my own again is, I need to remind myself to take advantage of this newfound flexibility and be sure to blog, look at pictures, and be inspired! That will continue to lead to better product for my professional me. […]

A lot of the ceramics I look at are porcelain, delicate and, in many cases, many small parts make up a whole. In the case of Gabrielle Baëcile though, none of this is the case. Her work is sculptural, has a density to it, and reminds me of coral. From what I can glean from […]
