An ephemeral installation by Studio Orta. Fascinating.

Another beautiful embroidery installation. In Ilaria’s words, embroidering is a “courageous sign of preservation, of mending a wound, of keeping a memory or of disguising an apparent shape.”

Love.

Brian is so talented that every now and then I have an Ulrich Hour where I peruse his photography works. This morning’s turned into Ulrich-Two-Hours, b/c it’s been a while since I’ve visited his recent work!

I love this outtake from Jeff’s shoot with Good Magazine. Definitely better than good.

Last year, Cris from Tinlark Gallery invited me to co-curate a show, along with seven other HUGE inspirations of mine. I was floored. In an industry where shelter magazines rule and tiny art/design bloggers rarely see the sun, the idea of a show curated entirely by bloggers seemed to be entirely impossible.

Yet Cris from Tinlark pulled it off this weekend with the release of INSPIRED. In her words, INSPIRED is a group show “curated by 8 of America’s best art and design bloggers.”

I’ve never been more flattered; more honored. Thank you, Cris, for seeing a tiny glimmer of talent in our voices. Thank you, artists, for giving us a reason to be inspired.

And lastly, thank you, readers, for cheering us on along the way. I am so, so grateful today.

If I could have a minute with Alessandra, I’d ask her why her latest exhibition is entitled ‘My First Love’ and features a painted collage on a horse skull.

On second thought, perhaps I wouldn’t.

Beautiful photography from Yu Ukai, currently exhibiting at Mountain Fold Gallery in New York.

New work from Liz. While you’re there, be sure to peruse her early work, as there is some mighty fine photography from the early days of Liz!

She’s truly grown into such a talented artist.

I love a good collabo! Timothy John Berg and Rebekah Myers, entitled “Enjoy it… while it lasts.”
