NUDIBRANCHS AND OTHER CREATURES
CAROLYN POTTER: Crochet, Polymer Clay & Gourd Sculptures

“Nudibranchs/sea slugs have taken over my life.
These bizarre, colorful sea creatures that live on reefs in the ocean are my obsession.
I have used sea slugs to inspire my students to make polymer clay sculptures.
My sister brought back a book on the reefs of Indonesia after diving in Borneo.
I was in love.
Page after page of flatworms and nudibranchs.
What color. What form. What fun.”

i had
forgotten
about zana bayne
for some time now

i go through
phases of being
obsessed and
then it fades

any way
look at what
her busy little
fingers have been
up to while i was
sleeping

if i can shed
five pounds
i may have to
reward meself
with that
fucking rad
pentagram harness
yes i do say so

lovely yokoo

little lady's
creations for some
time now...
so nice to see
her come to life
in this etsy profile

and she quotes one
of my favorite
ee cummings poems
that i quoted on here
not that long ago
love serendipity.

Arms Out

my sweet friend
mel kadel
has a solo show
at merry karnowsky
170 s la brea ave
this saturday feb 5th
8-11




the depth of
mel's work
is so touching
it creates space
to feel emotionally
vulnerable...not an easy
feat with pens and paper

i so wish i could be at this show


from the
press release:

With a technique some have called “drawing with an eyelash,” Kadel has created a visual narrative that communicates interconnectedness, balance, and the idea that we are all part of a system whether recognized or not. Inertia is an important part of what propels the work, and whether standing idle, entwined, or reaching up, or outward – what Aristotle said is true – the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. In Kadel’s world characters embark on wondrous adventures, face absurd obstacles, and complete daunting tasks within their lush, imaginative world. Undaunted by gravity, they push, pull, climb, and reach to arrive at their veiled destination.
