I couldn’t stop myself from continuing to explore the Fashioning Felt artists – I have to share Ursula Suter’s work. All I can think is that my surface design professor in college would have been blown away by these pieces. All of these pieces are from her Cooper-Hewitt exhibit. Close up – the light behind […]

There’s a new exhibit here in New York at the Cooper-Hewitt design museum called Fashioning Felt. I anticipate that there will be multiple posts here about various artists that the exhibits awesome site and blog have led me to, especially after I make it up to the exhibit myself but for now I wanted to […]

Another item from my mom who seems to be my source for all things odd right now is Jim Hodges, whose work she just saw while at the Philadelphia Museum of Art yesterday. As someone who has worked a lot with silk flowers to make me various hair accessories the idea of deconstructing them was […]

My brother is a huge fan of Google Reader. By the time I wake up in the morning I typically have between 1-3 forwards and some of them are really interesting (many are images of puppies). As my brother lives in Baltimore I was particularly taken by an artist he sent me today, who subsequently […]

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 […]

I think it’s fairly obvious that I love art that incorporates animals in some way. I came across Sharon Montrose and she photographs animals from the common to the more obscure. I could show all of them as they’re so simply beautiful with the white background and the personalities of the animals really coming through. […]

In my post on Lonny Photo I referenced the head-on cow face oil painting in my foyer. I realized I should include all I know about Roz, the South Texas-based artist of the store RozArt, who made my little cow, below, as a custom order for me. Roz is a single mother of three, who, […]

When you’re a renter you don’t want to do anything too destructive to the apartment for fear of losing your security deposit. I’ve been in the same apartment for almost three years and I’ve still not painted the walls. Plenty of art but no paint. Today on Etsy I stumbled upon Elephannie, who creates wall […]

Sometimes when I’m missing Boston all I want to do is look at pictures of my neighborhood or my family. Today I came upon a company called Ork Posters, which will allow me to look at an awesome map of Boston’s neighborhood in the colors of my beloved Celtics! Other colors are available but this, […]
