I love textiles and they have ended up in paintings or influenced parts of them quite a bit. Sometimes, though, I just have to craft something from some beautiful fabric. Here are some pillows I made with fabric from Marimekko, during a recent snow day. Because of my love of working with fibers, having enjoyed macramé as a child, knitting, crocheting amigurumi animals, learning about the mathematical application of crochet, and this collective art, reef, climate change project was particularly exciting. www.marimekko.com/us_en/fabric https://www.kqed.org/arts/12808325

One of the Lego artists interviewed in the PBS video, Alex Kobbs, makes stop motion animations of war- themed video games. While online gaming technology heightens reality and is becoming increasingly more graphic, Kobbs' work makes the action one step removed from reality by translating it into the medium of Lego. Although I do not condone violent video gaming, Kobb's work takes us back into the realm of imaginative play and toy soldiers. |
