Thakoon Pre-Fall 2012 Revamped





Aren't these lovely?  I love when two art forms merge and look so natural in their mutual presence! Diana over on Miss Moss makes this combination look effortless.

Studio Visit: Kay Sekimachi

After majoring in fine art in college with a focus in wearable arts, fiber arts have always been a major draw for me. Artist & Berkeley native Kay Sekimachi's latest collection strikes the perfect mix of fine art and design. Full of found objects, specifically ones that washed up on the beach. Sekimachi "combed the sandy beaches and the lava-formed tide pools of Puako Bay (on the big island),  she harvested shells, bits of coral, fossils, fish vertebrae, and the delicate bones of birds, sea urchin spines and other oceanic ephemera with dedicated rigor but no particular endgame in mind." All of this trolling paid off as Sekimachi was able to successfully weave the sea.

Artist Spotlight: Ruth Asawa

Photobucket

There are small grouping of artists whose work I would die to have as part of my own collection. Ruth Asawa is one of them.  My favorite component of her work is the knit metal structures that take on organic forms. For now her work will rest, neatly bound, in a coffee table book in my living room.  I hope that someday I will have the opportunity acquire a fully realized piece of her brilliance.
