double take – Artist Tauba Auerbach

I did a double take when I came across an image of a work the other day. I had to look at it a second time closer after being so surprised the first time seeing it.
Does this happen to you too sometimes?

It turned out to be the project [2,3]. The artist Tauba Auerbach teamed up with Printed Matter to publish six separate, wonderfully designed pop-up books filled with geometric paper sculptures. There is also a great video by the director Sam Fleischner which shows the books being unpacked and opened up. There is a moment of wonder each time. And I love the sound of the books creaking until they are fully opened.

INSTAGRAM FIND – hellotangle

I love handcrafted items – especially wall hangings. hello tangle is Bibi and Veronica. These two sisters from Melbourne, Australia create delightful woven fiber art. The pieces have such beautiful textures and great color combinations. Looking at them it makes me want to get out my little loom and start a new design.

INSTAGRAM FIND – emma_cassi

Emma Cassi’s work has been an inspiration for me for a long time. I love the details and the colors. And I love the that she uses reclaimed lace, and 1880’s jet beads, 1950’s sequins and vintage Swarovski crystals to create her lace and embroidery jewelry.

Often her pieces are limited edition and sometimes you get a one-of-a-kind piece. A native french Emma began making jewelry 1999 in London.
Here you can see 4 images from her new Autumn/Winter collection from her Instagram feed. Such a great way to present the jewelry!

INSTAGRAM FIND – electricsuncreatives

I’m in love with these wonderful wall hangings. Sarah Perez from Sacramento, Ca creates these beautiful brass wall hangings. They are so pretty! I really like the combination of the color of the metal and the different geometric forms and the wood textures. And as a creative I’m always curious to see how other artist’s studios look like – beautiful big windows and lots of light.
