My hand obsession has been exponentially growing over the course of the past six months. I have been working on a lot of embroidery lately and the unconscious routine of the hand amazes me. Delicate, skilled, and active. These are some collections I've gathered to wet the palette and feed the soul. Words also cannot describe my heart swells for Lousie Bourgeois and her work.

Jawdropping Talent, really!

This is a very impressive and beautiful work by husband-wife duo Sylvie Zijlmans & Hewald Jongenelis. Spending almost four years conceiving the project, they created this image with ten negatives, using ten models in different poses, over a period of ten days. Their dedication to the project is mind-blowing. The backstory really makes the image incredible. Read more about it at Sight Unseen.
