    Agata Olek might be my new hero(ine).  
Her artist statement is a reason to love her:
“A loop after a loop. Hour after hour my madness becomes crochet. Life and art are inseparable. The movies I watch while crocheting influence my work, and my work dictates the films I select. I crochet everything that enters my space. Sometimes it’s a text message, a medical report, found objects. There is the unraveling, the ephemeral part of my work that never lets me forget about the limited life of the art object and art concept. What do I intend to reveal? You have to pull the end of the yarn and unravel the story behind the crochet. “
If you’re still not sold, check out her extensive/mind-blowing portfolio here.  If you’re lucky enough to live in/around NYC, see her show Knitting is for Pussies at the Christopher Henry Gallery.

    Totemism today.
The three works that I just posted only begin to scratch the surface of Greek artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis’ work.  His online portfolio is filled with really cool installations, videos, and paintings (definitely check out his series Hey ho, here we go ever so high).  See more here.

    Digging EMI #2.
Alexandros Vasmoulakis.
Recently (as in, yesterday) I put together an inspiration project for work that involved pulling together installation artists with fashion designers to find common color/pattern/overall idea trends.  I’m pretty proud of the outcome!  Today and tomorrow I’m going to share some of the work of the installation artists.
