Wire sculptures The opening chapter of our new project starts with the introduction of two female artists who create using a wire line – transparent hanging sculptures, tri-dimensional drawings, installations.. Organic hanging crocheted wire sculptures of iconic Ruth Asawa meet exaggerated wire faces popping out of canvases of Fiona Morley. Separated by time and cultures, […]
Alcohol ink drawings (and few photos) This series of alcohol ink drawings was made by Hung to cheer me up in the aftermath of my unfortunate fall and ankle fracture while in Cuba trying to soak up some sun ahead of the Canadian winter. In a life-changing split second, I ended up stuck for 10 […]
Jewelry Probably not what you might think – no diamonds here – rather things that are way more precious! It is Sanda’s head-turning pendants and jewelry garlands making it onto and under Christmas trees! Bold and festive, funky, and genuine – the best holiday gifts one can wish for! A little piece of Sanda!
Ink on paper This is a study of a minimalist representation of space and dimensions by Hung. Using simple geometric elements and shapes. The rectangles of urban landscapes (visit also Urban Galleries), triangular shades, horizontal lines of horizon(s), and angled ones adding perspective. Color blocks, softness of alcohol ink pens layering on soft paper. The […]
Silk scarf designs This story is about relationships, actually. It is a story that emerged utterly unexpectedly from a foundation of geometry. That is, a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures… placed onto a silky, wiggly fabric (of love). The activity at […]
Christmas edition Beards abound around Christmas time. Well, Santa sports the winner, but Christmas gnomes don’t fall much behind. Ruffled beards, unruly beards, neat wooly beards… even some of my colleagues grow seasonal beards around this time of the year… Well, feathery wings also show up, as well as cottony snowflakes. Enchanted forests, white pines, […]
Polymer clay jewelry I always marveled, incomprehensible for a mortal mind, the age of rocks, layers of time creating beautiful patterns, often glitzy with crystals and metallic shine, and fossils embedded in them. Elements which the nature is spawn from – metals, granites, water, oxygen – create this visual geological history layered in eons of […]
Hand-painted silk scarfs Soft on touch, gentle wrap around the neck, an ultimate sense of luxury – a silk scarf is a fashion statement. Until I had my hands on it, I was ignorant as to how intricate the process of designing a hand-painted scarf could be. For a painter in me, a blank silk […]
Women collage artists This time around, we are blogging about ‘wimmin’ with magical powers. ‘Wimmin‘ ??? A femme-like creatures intertwined with botanical worlds, from a natural history of fairies, of course. ‘Wimmin’ are out-wordly beings from another universe, symbiotic with plants, morphed into their germination and reproduction – a world where the co-existing species in […]
Oil sketches by Tom Thompson Escaping a ‘hamster wheel’ of daily grind, for twenty years now I found a solace and calming peace on Madawaska river – on our 2.5 acres of untouched nature, deep waters shimmering with mirages of seasonal colors, a bliss of cleansing in deep waters of the lake and immersing in […]
