Lost at Sea Opening

I’m a little late blogging this, but the May 6th opening of “Lost at Sea” at gallery hanahou was just terrific! We had a big turnout and many of the participating artists came too.

The show is up through June 11th, but if you can’t make it to NYC, you can also see all the pieces online.

Here are a few more photos from the opening—you can see more on the gallery’s Flickr set.

This was such a fun show to be a part of!

And guess what? I’m going to have my own show at gallery hanahou in the fall! I’m excited and a little scared! I plan to share my progress here from time to time, so stay tuned!

Setting up Lost at Sea

Yesterday was the big setup for “Lost at Sea,” which opens tonight (May 6) at gallery hanahou! I stopped by and watched as curator Kristen Rask, artist Jenny Harada, and Gabe from the gallery worked on it.

Kristen is in good spirits despite her lack of sleep:

Jenny looks up at her adorable hairy Plankton (I have my eye on that yellow and red one!):

Gabe cradles a big cutie by Cotton Monster:

They did such a nice job displaying everything—it’s going to be a great show. Please stop by if you’re in NYC!

Becky at CRAFT also blogged a preview of more of the pieces in the show yesterday, so check that out too!

Lost at Sea

I was really flattered to be invited by Kristen Rask to participate in her upcoming group show at gallery hanahou, “Lost at Sea.”

The show will feature aquatic-themed works by 33 fiber artists, including Jenny Hart, Hine Mizushima, Jill Bliss, Helle Jorgensen (who made the beautiful crocheted piece pictured above), and other very talented people.

And here are the pieces I made for the show!

Knitted Waves

I’m excited to be working on a piece for an upcoming sea-themed show curated by Kristen Rask of Schmancy.

My dad used to have a sailboat, which he particularly liked to take out on gusty days. The whole rocking ordeal terrified me for the most part, so to this day I don’t feel a strong calling to jump on a boat. But I do love the romantic, summery image—especially on this snowy day in NY!
