The forest for the trees.
And the trees are made of lace and leather.

Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri are really turning things around at Valentino.
Pure modern magical femininity.

The future in your hand
Jennifer Culp makes amazing metal jewelry. There’s something about her work that reminds me of the way that people were working in the Bauhaus workshops, and the quality and silhouette of her pieces feels immediately classic while appealing to a beautiful slightly futurist aesthetic. Not necessarily a “jeweler”, she is an artist working with metals and exploring subjects of women, sexuality and gender relations. That she does so while creating supremely beautiful pieces of jewelry is merely icing on the cake.

New ways to see
In the act of producing a picture there is always a form of “construction” going on. Whether it’s the framing, the lighting, or the positioning of the subject. As time passes, we have a better understanding of these constructions, and their successes and failures become more evident.As social interactions take place more and more with the screen and the virtual, I find that there is a desire for physical interactions and I play with the possibilities and limitations of those interactions.
Work comes to me in different ways, either by watching a movie, reading a book, taking a walk, or looking at art. Sometimes, I have an idea, and then I look for the image, sometimes, I find the image and it leads to an idea. Always, the space that the work inhabits informs the work.
