 shabdi'm thinking about: hand-woven textiles from mexico and china, the floating hay islands of peru, afghan war rugs, hubble photos of jupiter and the orion nebula. my studio mate jojo li's sculptures, the colorful pixelated videos of antoine catala. texture: dirty sand with jellyfish bits in it, grass, moss, mold, rust, lichen, marble, fog, glaciers, aurora borealis, oil spills. mirrors and glass and 1960's skyscrapers in downtown manhattan. folk costume and festival dress from all over the world: the hay raincoats from japan, furry vests from the czech republic, tassled tunics from nigeria. contemporary wax prints from africa. simple classic shapes, geometry, and embellishment. the drawings my 4 year old niece sends me.
