Portland Maine

I had a brief visit to the lovely Portland Maine. No, these are not

my pictures...nor did it really look like this.

It was cold and snowy, but the town is so charming and worth visiting.

Denmark's GAMplusFRATESI

This project is the result of an intense study that embrace tradition as well asadvanced technology; an idea emerged from reflections of contrasts.A fascination of a fusion between high performance composite materials,as glasfiber, and the aesthetics from the antique art of lace.With inspiration from working methods in the textile industry, we have beenexperimenting with various techniques applicable to the glasfiber.This project is a dialog between many specialized sectors, and differenthistorical references.

Fumi Watanbe
Seattle-based artist Fumi Watanbe describes herself as primarily “a designer and conceptual thinker” in addition to being an artist with a background in both illustration and fine art. She describes her work as “intricate compositions that convey a sensual and organic atmosphere. It is not a statement, but rather a gift to reflect and evoke a feeling…my intent is tocreate an environmental sanctuary that transcends the present and visually imprints its effect on the viewer's collective experience.”About the current collection: Fumi’s intricate artistic process begins with wood-block prints on Japanese silk tissue and Japanese paper. Using colors and patterns inspired by nature, the hand-cut prints are layered in collage on wood panel. As Fumi speaks about her influences for this collection, she states, “A deer is a symbolism for a messenger of spirits in Japanese culture. The current collection of work is inspired from the spiritual landscape juxtaposed with simple observation of life. Like the surface of water, reflecting both the branches above and the ripples obscuring the dark rocks below, my work is about both what is seen and what is unseen. These works were created during a time of transformation, capturing the beauty and feeling that otherwise last only for the moment.”

Claire Coles

Claire uses layers of old or cheap wallpapers that she stitches together, layering patters into the paper to produce very delicate and beautiful pieces of artwork. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, layerd and torn to reveal what is hidden beneath. Incorporating leather, felt and gems into the design gives these ripped papers a precious quality. You can find more of her beautiful products at http://www.clairecolesdesign.co.uk/
