Subodh Gupta’s work involves a lot of welding/soldering, which I’m into right now. I can’t find too much out about this New Delhi-based artist but I love the scale and the techniques he uses for his works. Te above, UFO, is made up of many of the same item (in this case a metal saucer/bowl) […]

This week has not been my week. From being sick to there being a huge fire in Boston that has knocked out our power to other weird things going on – I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone! But the blog is always here for me – and the artists are always wonderful […]

Aside from having a great name, Kendall Buster’s work has the advantage of coming from one of the great fodder-generators for this here blog, Neil, who I will from now on refer to as my friend and not my brother’s! Like my brother, Neil went to Hopkins for college and just recently the campus installed […]

In just a few short days my mother will be receiving the very first Parks Partners award from the Mayor of Boston. In the spirit of that I thought I’d do a horticulturally inspired post and Susan Benarcik’s work fit the bill. I’m fairly certain those are everyday toothpicks glued to the wall in an irregular pattern. […]

Karen Margolis uses circles in her work (both positive and negative) and it’s amazing what she can do primarily with just that one shape. The circle to Karen represents “infinity and perfection” rooted in Zen Buddhism. She says on her site that, “The Enso, Japanese for circle, is my inspiration for imagery.” and in the […]

When you paint paper and then form it into sculptures on wood armatures is that painting or sculpture? Does it matter? Is it both? Such is the questions that came up when I saw the works of Lauren Clay that I love most. The below, to me, made in that very way, looks like a […]

It’s a barnacle bonanza over here tonight – thanks again to the people of Pinterest I came upon the work of Jessica Drenk tonight in all of its glory. Jessica takes everyday products from pencils to coffee filters to mops and creates the most amazing installations, wall art pieces and smaller sculptures. As I should have […]

I’ve been on a mini vacation since I last wrote – some girlfriends and I went down to Turks & Caicos for some much needed sun and mid-afternoon cocktails. It was awesome! We went walking on the beach, enjoyed the crystal clear waters, and even went banana boat tubing! Now, back in cold Boston, I’ve […]

I think Hyacinta Hovestadt might be the hardest artist to track down that I’ve ever blogged about. I can’t find a website of her own but I can find many videos and fans of her work throughout a variety of sites. That could be because of the material she uses, recycled corrugated cardboard. I’ve written […]

There are so many amazing people on Pinterest but one artist who I’ve been following is Mary Osmundsen. She recently posted a piece by Lee Boroson and I had to share this artist’s amazing inflated installations! The above piece is built out of nylon, monofilament, hardware, a blower, etc. – those are handmade clouds, inflated […]
