Andreas Gefeller part 2

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS.

Andreas Gefeller

I saw one of his photographs at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach last week, and got so excited I didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't have anyone with me to gush over it, so instead I became an impromptu tour guide for some cute little old ladies who were wondering (1) how he shot the photo and (2) why I was standing in front of the photo, by myself, scribbling furiously into my notebook. And I might've been talking to myself like a crazy person. Just a little bit.

Andy Paiko

I'm LOVING this guy's work, particularly the bell jars and reliquaries.

Jacinda Russell

Jacinda Russell gave a talk this week at the University of Memphis, and I am totally loving her work. She preserves old books in resin and does some fun and funky ephemeral performances at famous earthwork sites, among many other things.

Favorite new word after being exposed to her work: wunderkammer.

The Evolution Store

I just discovered this store in New York. I'm spending the rest of the day justifying a trip to NYC just so I can go!

Along a similar taxidermy/taxonomy theme, here's a recent photo of mine.

Kohei Nawa
