Sometimes I come across an artist who makes a variety of works but I’m particularly drawn to one – such is the case of Lauren Kussro’s barnacles – they are awesome and remind me of Emily Barletta’s crochet domes. The below piece, with those vibrant colors, stretches across a huge wall – these are not tiny! I […]

Nnenna Okore uses mostly biodegradable, recycled materials to create her amazing sculptures and wall art / installations. I was looking at artists using repetitive patterns and came across the Nigerian-born artist’s great pieces. Made of paper, wax and thread the above piece, “Abandoned History” is quite large, 60 x 70 x 10 inches in depth. […]

When I came across Andrew Myers work my first thought was, this is something I would see over at Colossal, one of my favorite art and design blogs. Andrew’s work takes such patience to create, screwing in the screws, painting them, making sure they’re even and at the right depth, etc. He’s great about showing […]

Next week I’m having people over for a non-profit meeting on Monday night and, as I walked out of my door this morning I thought, I hope no one cares about all of the animal-related items around the house. We have a cowhide rug and a paper maiche rhino head, ram’s horn lamps and impala […]

Every so often everyone has one of “those” days – today was one of them for me and as a treat to me I’m salvaging it with an end of day post of beautiful porcelain work by Valeria Nascimento who self-describes her work as, “about repetitive sequencing with separate elements to form a cohesive sculptural […]

I have been trying to be a bit more active on Twitter these days – reading more but also sharing more things that I find. One person I came across was Erin Loechner who writes Design for Mankind. I found out about her through Rue Magazine’s Twitter and after many an hour on her site I […]

A show is opening on Friday in England that I would give an arm to go see. It’s called Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive and it’s going to be at Towner. There are some awesome artists in the show I’ve heard about like Claire Morgan and some I have never heard about before. One in particular was […]

All the way from his new home in the Netherlands, my brother’s friend Neil sent me a New England artist last night who is right up my alley, Amy Eisenfeld Genser, who he found on Design Milk on Friday. Her work is both repetitive and pattern-centric – two of my favorite things – and she […]

Just down the block from me in New York is the School of Visual Arts — there are constantly art students out on the street working, talking and putting together shows in their various buildings. One former student there recently caught my eye with her work in buttons, Ran Hwang, who I came across on […]

I can’t find as much out about Hannah Verlin as I would like. She is showing with Michelle Lougee at the Boston Sculpture Gallery right now but her website won’t let me click on its links. Both a blessing and curse – her work is, as a result, able to speak more for itself. This […]
