old master . . . .

Anni Albers is respected for being a pioneer of twentieth-century modernism and a leading member of the Bauhaus movement.  She is well known to weavers for the way she reinvented the craft as an art form. However, it is not her weaving that I am interested in today, but her print designs from the 1970's.  These pieces look so contemporary they could have been produced yesterday, which goes to show that good design is timeless.

I recently bought 'cutting edges, contemporary collage' (possibly the most beautiful book).  There are many artists featured in the book but I have picked just one for now.  These images are all by Dani Sanchis and have got me reaching for a pair of scissors . . .

strange creatures . . . . .

I discovered Jessica Bajoros's work a couple of years ago whilst randomly searching the web for inspiration . . . .
