I cannot for the life of me remember where I snagged the above photos from. Only that I was so happy when I saw them and meant to take a mental note. So to whomever they belong...I apologize for my ADD- and not crediting the source.
This next ones are from the new installation by GARY BASEMAN currently at Corey Helford gallery
I decided to make this blog post because for awhile there I was obsessed with making (sewing, drawing) crazy pod like bulbous things. Part of this obsession was that I was intrigued by organic creatures, jellyfish, sea things and multiplying disease like things. My artwork was featured in the Gen ART Young Emerging Artist show at Track 16 gallery way back in 2003 (I think that's when it was?). I had created a giant multi-pod cluster soft sculpture that hung 30 feet from the ceilings. IT sort of resembled an underwater chandelier. The pods were all beaded, stained, embroidered and bound with yarns. The piece was enormous and took up a lot of space in my place. I ended up giving them to the only person who ever really appreciated their strange glory. My friend Niki who has a clothing line called luxury jones.
She decided to use them in the background for her new fashion look book. Check them out in the piles behind her models:
I love everything about this post!!

THANKS so much Yvette! I knew someone would have the research that I lost by hanging on to the pics too long... xoxo
