I’m lichen it
August 15, 2018
Ceramic artist Olivia Walker throws precise porcelain forms, then covers them in paper-thin accretions. Using porcelain, these organic, lichen-like growths speak of organisms – fungus, coral and bacteria – growing over and devouring the form beneath. Olivia Walker’s current body of work looks at the fine line between growth and decay.
Why am I saying, “crank up the jam!”
August 14, 2018I really don’t think anyone says that anymore.
But . . . I was recently the recipient of some marvelous, creatively-named jams.
Traffic Jam has all the red fruits in it; Bear Jam is based on blackberries; and who knew frogs could taste so good?
Many thanks to Robb.
It’s Tuesday . . .
Wht am I sappy cat blogging?
August 10, 2018
“On April 1, 2018, Japanese toy-maker Bandai announced a new lineup and innovative figurines. Nekobusou, or “Armored Cats” in English, were essentially adorable kitty transformers that could wrap themselves with lethal killing machines. The company must have known that they were on to something right away. The original tweet racked up almost 3000 retweets and likes, which presumably prompted the company to go ahead with the idea. Or maybe they were tasting the waters all along. Regardless, Armored Cats are coming.”
