Chilean artist, Jose Romussi, is relatively new to the textile scene and is definitely one to watch. These images are from his ‘Dance’ series and I’m in love. Embroidery on paper, and specifically photographs, creates such an interesting effect. The embroidery really does bring the textures and movements of these dancers to life. I also… Read More Textile Tuesday: Jose Romussi
I love the ocean. I particularly love cephalopods and by connection jellyfish. I also love mediums that don’t look the way they normally do. Thus, I present, Jellyfish by Danelia Forti. Italian artist Danelia Forti uses glass fusion techniques, with a little bit of crystal for good measure, to create these twisting, living, flowing sculptures.… Read More Under The Sea….Glass
Crocheted death. Skeleton specimens encased in glass, traditional museum boxes, and framed and all with a bit of yarn. Artist Caitlin T McCormack, trained as an illustrator, creates these fantastically macabre crocheted skeletons of a huge variety of animals. I particularly enjoy how they’re displayed as if they are in fact specimens of a museum… Read More Textile Tuesday: Caitlin T McCormack
If you’re like me, you’re a gosh darn sucker for Farmer’s Markets. I have a kiwi guy. It’s a wonderful relationship. Liana Jegers is also a Farmer’s Market fan, or at least is inspired by produce! I absolutely love these illustrations of Jegers. They’re light with an elegantly simple color palette. And those lines! Be… Read More Farmer’s Market Weekend
These are not drawings or paintings or prints or digital art they’re not even sculptures! These are glass. Colorless glass at that! Artist Chris Wood uses Dichroic glass to create geometric pattern installations that filter light to bring these incredibly intricate works of art. Because I’m apparently at a loss for words, we’ll quote Wood.… Read More Seriously…These Are Glass
We live in a material world and I am definitely a fiber textile material girl. London artist, Jessica Dance, is literally bringing the famous tune to life with her props and models made from wool (and paper but we’re focusing on wool). Covering items from electronics to clothes to food, Dance creates a tiny fuzzy… Read More Belated Textile Tuesday: Jessica Dance
Sometimes, when dreaming, everything will be going along and you’ll suddenly find yourself questioning the sequence of events, or the face of a person, or the structure of the room because the dream is so very real but something is just…off. That ‘off’ inkling is the perfect description for the feeling that artist Alex Gross… Read More Mr. Sandman Bring Me A Dream
I love these busts by Juliette Clovis. Are they covered in objects are the objects a part of them? Keeping her palettes clean and monochromatic creates a seamless transition between the busts and the creatures and patterns that are draped and bursting from them. These sculptures almost seem futuristic, like an avant-garde high fashion woman… Read More Sculptural Surrealism
These, are embroideries. Thread. Not paint or cut paper or printed ink. It’s embroidery. Fantastic. From the artist’s site, The work maps the frameworks of the various veining systems found in nature to create work that explores the balance, harmony and connectivity of life on Earth. Inspired by the patterns, structures and shapes found in… Read More Textile Tuesday: Meredith Woolnough
I love these mixed media, pen and gouache pieces. They are so comforting and familiar. The patterns, the scenes, the everyday happenings of normal life. Russian born artist, Yelena Bryksenkova, is inspired by the comforts of home. Warm blankets, wallpapers, cats, houseplants, with an occasional melancholic theme, these tiny pieces are everything I want in… Read More A Modern Life Illustrated
