On Friday I spent two short hours at the American Craft Council show in St. Paul. It was every bit as inspiring as I'd hoped it would be. Having only that wee bit of time to spend, I thought I would focus on surface design & wearable art, but I ended up being drawn to the jewelry, tilework, and weaving (cleansing my palate, so to speak). Some of my favorite artists were:
I am more and more drawn to simplicity -- in line, economy, focus. My mentor and I were discussing it and we both supposed that may be because I am in such a full place in my life, and that simplicity in art gives me balance. Also, when you are checking out the sites above, you may want to make a note that my birthday is a mere 4-1/2 months away....
thanks for the links - i want them all!! and my birthday's only 9 days away... :)
