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! Wade seems to individually work more with building materials like sheet rock, plywood and studs. […]

Like work in pen or pointilism […]

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, […]

I feel like I’ll be apologizing for delayed posting for a while now — with moving back to Boston things have been a little hectic but I attended an event last night in Brooklyn that I had to post on. The event was held at the old Invisible Dog factory, which was a popular 70s […]

My mom and I made an impromptu trip to Brooklyn yesterday to visit The Yarn Tree when we came across a store called Catbird in Williamsburg. We went in because we are suckers for cute jewelry and found many amazing things that I just had to post! The above are by Pade Vavra who sort […]
