    Talk about a confluence of experience. I went to the Textility exhibition that Joanne Mattera and Mary Birmingham curated at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey yesterday. A lot of interesting work but I was most struck by a piece of..Sam Messengers. In person you would swear the lines were thread stitches (at which point I thought of you)and even knowing they were not, and not actual cheesecloth either, didn't make a difference. I kept going up really close to look again. But in actuality its white ink on ink washed paper. Really haunting and beautiful. I just googled him to learn more and what came up but your blog post! I must have missed this last week....images don't do these pieces justice though. I hope you see one in person at some point!!You would really respond.

    i thought they would be much better in person if they're as wonderful as they are as images. i'm glad you went to that show, it sounds amazing!
