One of the artists who frequents my crit circle is Reuven Wallack. Recently he asked me if I’d like to try doing an artist conversation, and I said yes- I think juxtaposing a figurative artist with an abstractionist will be fun!
So if you’re not already following me on IG please do and definitely tune in Wednesday evening!
gets a nod from Artsy. I can see why- (thought she might not call it “abstraction”) below is a mind blowing mix of digital collage printed on silk and vinyl, spandex, smocking, appliqué, pine, upholstery foam, silk thread, and flashe paint.

gets a nice mention in Two Coats article about Material Mutations, part one; The Canvas at Transmitter.

Hyperallergic says many of the works in Iðavöllur are big and chock-full of issues and socially engaged ideas, like so much art elsewhere. Dodda gets a nice nod.

Hey followers (all 240 of you, how lucky am I?)! I’m excited to add a new blog category to make it easier for you all to get updates on what I’m actually doing (I’ve been using the blog/post functionality in WordPress almost exclusively for posting about other artists). When I make updates to any portfolio pages on work in progress or when I complete new work, I’ll use this updates category to share with you. I hope it increases your interest in this blog.
I’m really excited about my first announcement, too! Just this last week, I was asked by Goldenbelt Arts in Durham to hang a show that will be up through the end of this year, which is also my first opportunity to show the cubes in public. I hope you can all make it out to Dimensions sometime soon!
Hard to believe I’m just getting to blogging about Frank. A lot has of course been written about his titanic career- I like this piece from NYT Magazine because the writer actually consulted the artist (and it has the value of hindsight).

Got to meet Pete at a show he’s in with Jean (Shaping Spaces). His shift to abstraction is new.

Hyperallergic notes that the work Sheela (and others) have in Fault Lines prove that abstraction need not be confined to the inner life of the artist.
