Trip to Portland: Chez Shannon

2011-08-04T12:40:00.002-04:00

I just got back from a wonderful week in Portland where it was sunny and not too hot. A welcome break from the heat dome of NYC. Shannon was our lovely host. Here are some images of her home. The natural light was amazing. Though I have been fair warned that it is not usually sunny there!

Hi NYorkers and BKnites. I'll be selling at the Brooklyn Renegade this year. I'm sharing a booth with Jenny Topolski so look for her name in the program to find us or come straight to both 217. It is off the Union and Bayard entrance along the Union side.

I'll have my usual plus some new stuff and a bargain chest full of impulse buys at a very good price.

I look forward to seeing you!

Gallery Show at the Invisible Dog Gallery

2011-05-13T18:38:00.002-04:00

OPENING PARTY MAY 14th:

OBSTACLE
curated by Steven and William
a PLUS ONE CURATION SERIES

Surrounding themselves with people and places they love has always been important to Steven and William Ladd. Their initial encounter with The Invisible Dog was love at first sight. The space brought back childhood fantasies of exploring caves, old buildings, and nature. Buckets and barrels filled with trinkets and trimmings left behind from a defunct belt factory lined the floors. Lucien Zayan, envisioning the spirit of the future art space, commissioned them to utilize these materials and create a chandelier for the ground floor gallery. This commission blossomed into a friendship and opened the doors to a professional collaboration - from curating The Invisible Store to curating their first art show.

Steven and William have chosen "Obstacle" as the theme of the exhibition; born from the idea of an obstacle course - something to challenge the body and demand attention in the present. They approached artists and asked them to investigate the work they were making, and how the work relates to obstacles. The Perfect Storm, by Sally French, deals with the loss of her home during the housing crisis. Chris Astley explores force, pressure and weight with concrete forms. In the case of artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares, they literally confront theirs with a running start. Steven and William collaborated with their sister Bee Ladd's education program at PS 58, Project Lab. They spent two weeks talking about obstacles and making art with over 400 students. Art-education has always been an important way for them to give back to the community and to encourage future artists.

Works by: Chris Astley, Carlton DeWoody, Ethan Long, Steven and William, Chris Dunbar, Suzanne Sattler, Antonia Wright, Ruben Millares, Wayne Adams, Paul Bloodgood, Sally French, Allyn Bromley, Stephen Freedman, Deborah Nehmad, Evan Ryer, Michael Joaquin Grey, Project Lab @ PS58, Aaron Padilla, John Silvis, Anne Pearce, Andrew Zuckerman, Jennifer Mills, Robin Kang, Ian Trask

And here is a little sneak peak at the show as I set-up a table in the gift shop full of my new kiln fired decal plates. The series is called Natural Curiosities. Born from a wish to escape the city at times, these plates are imaginary souvenirs from a trip to the coast carefully arranged "on permanent display" to delight and inspire.

Dive Into Savings

2011-05-03T19:12:00.002-04:00

One thing I've recently learned to embrace about my 30's is that you know your body. In the past I always spent so much money on clothes from really nice places. Sort of came with the fashion design job that I had. If it didn't quite fit, the label sewn into the back always made up for it. Now I see something and just know that it will look good on me or absolutely horrible without even trying it on (clearly I avoid the latter). The freedom in this is that when I see a shape that I like I go for it no matter where I see it. Wearing something that really fits makes it looks 10 x the price. For example check out these cute suits and peep toe shoes I just got. I did not spend more than $30 on any 1 item. Of course I did not rely on my extrasensory perception. I did actually try them on before buying.

Old Navy Anchor Bikini Top

American Apparel Bikini Bottom

Peep Toe Shoe from Payless

(I bought red, black, denim and the stripe)

This is the Steven and Chris show. I am crossing my fingers it will get picked up by an American network. It looks amazing! I will post the youtube segment when it is available.

Until then, over and out.
