beautiful gocco prints of a hera buckmoth mating by gretchen wagoner. i love the knots, the clarity and precision of the prints. i also love the muted colors.
artist’s statement:
“I am fascinated with butterflies and knots. My interest lies in the delicate yet resilient characteristics of a butterfly as opposed to the robust and stabilizing mechanisms of a knot. Natural examples of conformity and a deviation – both are symbolically used to describe physical characteristics brought on by strong emotional reactions. Having butterflies or knots in your stomach may physically feel similar but evoke completely different emotional connotations.”

Ms. Nijinska, in addition to being a noted dancer and choreographer in her own right, was also the teacher of everyone’s fave movie danceuse, Cyd Charisse.

loving these paintings (acrylic on wood) by sean mahan. i love how he paints on raw wood - letting the natural wood show through the paint. this creates textures and colors that are paradoxically exciting and soothing. he seems to have had a show at the brooklyn collective in september, im looking into whether or not the show is still going on - id love to see his work in person!!
