Chapter title from Pictures and Tears: A History of People Who Have Cried in Front of Paintings by James Elkins via wike-wabbits.tumblr.com

I present to you, Dear Reader,

A joyful mid-winter round-up.

aka Ceramics, textiles, and colours I’d like to live in.

A very good ceiling installation at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York (2021). Related: We should have more hangings mobiles in our private & public spaces?

Assembly 17 by Erin Wilson, seen at HEIRLOOM (an awesome rug shop in Brooklyn) in 2021. What is it that’s so satisfying about the organization of quilts?
A very good mail day from textile artist Lia Karras. This mini rug, woven from a local clothing brand’s offcuts, now lives happily on my desk :).
A piece from the 2016 exhibit Shelia Hicks: Material Voices, seen at the Textile Museum of Canada in Toronto. Found objects in weavings is 10/10 in my books.
Another piece from Julie Moon’s Flourish. This photo does the red colour almost zero justice, but… in person you can feel this colour in your body. I love the vitality that can come from a SINGLE colour in a piece/space/room. Fun to play with.

One more from Julie Moon’s Flourish to wave us out.

All my love,

Stay warm,

Kate
