Architecht Peter Kaschnig wanted to see the psychological effects of living surrounded by just one color. Located in Klagenfurt, Austria, the bathroom and bedroom also blue! If I were to live here, I would go crazy from the brightness (either that or I'd get used to it). What a great experiment. Image source: The Sun

Alessandra Exposito's sculptural pieces of fictionally named horses, chickens and pets are creepily beautiful, and appear as a fetish-like objects. What I admire is the decorative quality of the porcelain antlers, the rhinestone additions and portraits of the "owners". Her most recent show appeared at Mixed Greens in NYC.

Jacques KNIZDOVSKY is a Ukranian print maker (1915- 1985) whom I discovered in a recent print making class lead by Barbara Mason. What I love about his images are their strong graphic qualities and attention to line. The image can either be like a punch in the face or a delicate caress. Jacques Hnizdovsky. Cactus.
