ALL MY EYES: Whaleship Abbott

http://allmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015/05/whaleship-abbott.html

Friday, May 8, 2015. They put to sea, and hoped.”. I could never have been a whaler, but would love to have been aboard a whaleship in 1856, to see how it was done, meet those men, hear their stories, somehow get it all down in my own sketchbooks and journals, my fingers black from soot, as well as ink. To have put to sea, and hoped. Peaks Island, Maine. The paintings, which are mostly “excerpts” from said residency’s many "sketch-logbooks" are on view now at Dowling Walsh Gallery. In Rockland, Maine.

Theoretical ventriloquism, perhaps? Here are a few other “practical” books …. The Practical Ostrich Feather Dyer. Above...

Saturday, July 19, 2014. Squirting Grapefruits and Fingerprints: Deskey's Textiles. Might be a name you are familiar with, but if you can’t quite place his work, just think Radio City Music Hall. The interior that we now think of as the quintessential expression of Art Deco design, was actually slated to be yet another over-the-top “Rococo,” movie palace. That, of course, was before a certain designer entered the design competition with a completely different vision. From the Radio City’s website:. Along...
