Today I received my complimentary copy of 500 Paper Objects and since I opened it I am on cloud nine!

While flipping through I became more and more mesmerized by the amount of immense talent and the multitude of approaches in conceptualizing, designing, creating paper art. I haven't decided what is the greatest thrill: seeing a sampler of my works published in a book, or seeing all the other amazing works on paper and realizing that I am in the company of artists I know and admire to no end!

Here I included a tiny glimpse through pages with works from two artists I admire:  Elsa Mora and Natasha Bowdoin.

Frieze New York 2013

Frieze New York was on this past weekend and I was thrilled to be able to attend. As I've  expected, I felt like a child in an amusement park! I also felt re-energized, inspired and kept going and going until I couldn't stand on my feet anymore... Here I am sharing  a tiny sample of works I loved!

so many points of view...

It's so thrilling while photographing a new work, discovering the structure changing in so many ways; a  reminder of something I heard many times growing up: the importance to always examine all points of view... 

good enough?

Why is it that when I am experimenting, doing a mock-up, developing "something" without much of a concrete basis, I end up with a structure I fall in love with?
In the meantime and while I am in trance cutting, folding, adding and subtracting, I totally forget where and why, totally lose the sense of time, and suddenly realize that what I have completed is pretty good, perfectly belonging to the group of works I am preparing for my show and in total sync with everything else!
If only it was made with different and more sophisticated materials... If only...

details...

in progress...

I am going through a super busy time, creating works using all sorts of methods and planning to eventually bring it all together as a concrete body of work that makes sense and tells a story. 

I am aiming for mid April -can't believe it is only a month from now- to have it all complete. Please wish me luck...
