"A few weeks ago, I visited the second ever Collectible design fair in New York City. Highlights included Of The Cloth's lighting collaboration with Kawabi (shown) and Studio Solenne's rug collaboration with NuStory."
"I was fortunate to catch the Ruth Asawa retrospective at SFMOMA in its final days this September, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Until this show, I knew little of Asawa's personal life-she had six children-nor the depth of her dedication to art while balancing family. In the 1980s, for example, she molded beads from discarded clay used in mask-making. Then her son Paul would then pit-fire the beads at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, after which she strung them into necklaces. Not only did I admire the necklaces themselves, but also the way they embodied her seamless integration of art and life."
"It rained our entire first day in Rockport, Maine. My sister, brother, and I were on our annual September retreat to midcoast Maine. We sat around our rental house's glass-topped dining table doing our own things: reading, painting, chatting, staring at the harbor right out the window. It looked like a scene from Robert McCluskey's One Morning in Maine. I make daily collages from leaves gathered wherever I am, usually on dog walks (I call what I do Dog Walk Diary). So this was assembled from my finds on a foray in the drizzle. Making it atop glass added dimension and fittingly captured those perfect hours."
A recent visit to the second Collectible design fair in New York City showcased collaborations such as Of The Cloth with Kawabi and Studio Solenne with NuStory. A Ruth Asawa retrospective at SFMOMA revealed her life as a mother of six and her dedication to art, including bead-making from discarded clay and pit-firing by her son Paul at Ocean Beach, resulting in necklaces that integrate art and life. A rainy family retreat in Rockport, Maine produced quiet hours around a glass-topped dining table and a leaf collage assembled on glass as part of a daily Dog Walk Diary practice.
