One of my favorite artists from Somerset Studio fame is Lynne Perrella. Fell in love with her work the first time I saw it. You have to spend some time with each piece to really experience it. Rich and textured with multiple layers and exquisite patterns, each piece is a thing to behold. My friend Michelle is lucky enough to know Lynne personally. So whenever Lynne does something cool Michelle lets the rest of us know. I've been waiting for a really depressing time to get this book. When you feel bad it is easier to justify a visual feast like this for the price. Art Making & Studio Spaces takes a look at how 31 creative people use their space.
It is a significant topic worthy of its own book as each space somehow seems to be a part of each individual work. Our spaces are a reflection of us and directly impact the creative process. The work space is a place that inspires and processes outside inspirations. More than a utilitarian setting, the artist's workspace is where the Muse takes up residence and starts dictating the emerging work. Each space in this book is an amazing journey in and of itself. Totally worth a look. And totally worth the price.
http://www.amazon.com/ and http://www.somersetstudio.com/ are great places to find artsy things.
Love the new look, Sherry. I didn't take my laptop with me on my trip and this is the first time I've had a chance to visit your site since I returned.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It took too long for me to get it right. And I wish that I didn't have to have a new look. Feels fresher though.
