Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was

this is it 2010 discarded lottery tickets, romance novel covers, wood and found objects 108" x 156" x 168"

So jeal of Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was.

Tonight my non-winning of the Lottery sent me into the depths of the internet with google searches like "Lottery Winner Unhappiness" and "Where are the Lottery Winners Today". I'm not sure how I stumbled on Adam and Lauren's sculptures while searching for other's unhappiness but just the wee google image picture was enough to make me stop and take a looksie.

Using Lottery tickets and romance novel covers they make beautifully intricate patterns on constructed frames. These are so reminiscent of the articles of the greed that sometimes comes with becoming grotesquely rich overnight but also, all I could think was how many dumpster did they have to crawl into to get that many lottery tickets?

Amy Reckley

So jeal of Amy Reckley.

Amy was a grad student while I was working on my BFA and I can't think of a better person to be jeal of. She can build instillations out of zip ties and make wedges out of cardboard like nothing I've ever seen. Plus she's really likes The Silver Jews. Aw, yeah.

Amy is now helping run Art342 a nonprofit art residency program outside Fort Collins, CO.

Your Rainbow Panorama is opening this Thursday in Denmark. Please someone buy me a plane ticket 'cause this man is my hero.

"It is a vehicle for looking anew, which frames views and frames you as you

proceed through the seamless walkway of subtly transforming colour atmospheres. What you

experience may be of both panoramic scope and introspective quality – you may see yourself seeing.

I see Your rainbow panorama as an orientation tool. Dividing Aarhus into colour zones, it has the

qualities of a lighthouse: it draws attention not only to itself, but also to your physical location in

Aarhus. For people living in the city and moving through the different times of day, the work becomes

a compass in time and space."

-Olafur Eliasson

Sally Smart

So jeal of Sally Smart.

I feel like in all my years of 'looking at the internet' I would have run across Sally Smart sooner, but last night was the first. Needless to say she got my heart a beatin'.

Check out her website, seriously.
