Amazing decorative painting on the Gurunsi earth houses in Burkina Faso. Painted with colored mud and chalk. Somehow, I see these types of geometric patterning all over contemporary design.

Pollen fills MoMA’s atrium in an installation (by wolfgang laib)
While this is a beautiful installation, my eyes ares starting to water and itch just by looking at the photos.
Can’t wait to see this show!

Yes!
Pillow blanket
By Netherland-based design studio Joon & Jung.
‘This genius blanket is essentially a quilt made of thirty pillows. The blanket leaves one pillow missing in its design, allowing you to slide your head through the hole like a poncho.’
Making my studio into an installation is pretty easy. Just make a mess. (Taken with Instagram at Pier 57)
Love this setup by Erin Lynn Welsh. What a life to lead!
I had the absolute pleasure to visit Ann Hamilton’s new show at The Park Avenue Armory called THE EVENT OF A THREAD. It was by far, one or the most profound experiences of the year for me. Her work is so full of life. The thought she puts into every tiny detail is humbling. Through her work, she is able to affect every single person who walks in, this time reminding them of a childhood memory, relinquishing time for a few moments, allowing them to feel weightless and joyful, or reminding them how tenderly they love being read to.
A true work of art invites people in. Hers keeps us there.
I spent about half of my week working from home. It was peaceful and lovely.
Here is that calm, captured in three small moments.

Jazz great Dave Brubeck has died at 91. Above, his 1966 performance in Germany of “Take the ‘A’ Train” with Paul Desmond on alto sax, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Brubeck’s finger-work starts around the 3:50 mark.
Listen to the Fresh Air interview with Brubeck here. We’ll rebroadcast it on Friday.
Isreali designer Aviad Petel’s custom organic chandelier is breathtaking. I love the way it sort of grows up the stairwell, providing a soft and comforting light to those returning from a long day.

One of my biggest personal influences.
Randal Thurston is an amazing man, artist, and teacher. I am so thankful to have worked with him.

about artist
Christina lives and works in Brooklyn.
As humans, we have a inherent desire to create meaning in our lives. We mean to decorate the things that we touch with our fingerprints, as much as we consciously leave our footprints along the paths we choose to take. As an artist, I am continually captivated by impressions, connections, and beauty in imperfection. The majority of my work addresses the idea that every living person has an innate capability to feel. Some choose to dismiss it. Others accentuate it, understand it, rely on it, admit it, or express it. I aim to propose feeling by creating a dialogue between absence, presence, and personal history. The gentle, intangible silence that exists beneath the stresses, pressures, and negativity of the world is what I hope to portray in my work. A pause. I try to get inside that pause and use it to express a type of beauty that no one remembers ever noticing before.
