Oh Boy! Today I discovered Jessica Wohl who works with threads and photographs and collage and also installations making 'the invisible visaible'. I was initially blown away by her stitching on found photographs like this:
Title: 'White Family'
But she tackles other subjects equally well- go visit her site because it's large and amazing.
Look carefully for the car that is embroidered in the left foreground.
But then....
There is her installation work too- here a river of hair running down a stairway in an abandoned hotel.
Oh Joy! Joined a book club today- we're in the process of organizing it. Going to keep it small, take turns hosting, and we are open to suggestions for 'thought provoking' books. And ideas to add to our pot?

Best two books I read last year:
"Just Kids" Patti Smith
"Blood, Bones and Butter" Gabrielle Hamilton
Both are memoirs. Both beautifully written. The Patti Smith one is extraordinary and beautiful--well, so is the other--but Patti Smith!
Swamplandia by Karen Russell
Tony and Susan by Austin Wright
Both excellent!
