Baleen Study

I am determined to make some work around baleen. It is the sieve like hairs found in certain species of whales and is made of keratin, the same material as our hair or fingernails. There is something very terrifying about the filter feeding process and beauty in evolutions ingenuity at finding an alternative to the tooth. Here is a sketch.

Eloise Fornieles

This work by performance artist Eloise Fornieles is a beautiful mixture of gesture and object. Her Oyster Bar piece in which visitors 'exchange a tale of loss for an oyster or an orange' is so appealing to me. The exchange, participation, parameters, rich materials and a overarching solemnity is the kind of performance art I can get into.

Oda Jaune

This is work by Paris based artist Oda Jaune. They are absolutely stunning, straddling a visual morphism between figure and organ, close and far, consumption and birth. It is particularly striking to me now because of its collage like disparity in these contrasting forms. All the works are 'Untitled' (that must make things difficult) and are oil on panel or watercolor on paper. The complete website is here.
