I created an Inspiration folder on my computer three years ago where I collect images artists' work that I really admire. My eyes have been drawn lately to Lenore Tawney's fiber pieces. Here are few I'd love to share. Path II, circa 1965-66. Linen. Image from Browngrotta. I love this piece, it's simplicity and frankness. How it hangs a few feet off the wall which gives it a completely different presence I think. Waterfall, 1974. linen. Image Browngrotta. I admit I have a thing about orange and this piece I really love. I wish I could understand Tawney's thought process as to how she came up with her ideas and how she figured out how to execute them. Bach, collage. 1967. Image Browngrotta. She also made a lot of collage works. What an apt title, not just because of the obvious subject but don't you just hear Bach in the way the piece was assembled? It's nice to pull these images out of the folder and just study them for awhile. See more work online here.

This year's Whitney Biennial has accurately reflected the rise of crafts in the art world. I thought it would be nice to sort through the 103 artists and feature the artists who use craft in their work. There is a lot of amazing art in the exhibition so be sure to check it all out in person or online. I just discovered the work of Lisa Anne Auerbach when I was listening to Andrea Zittel speak about her project High Desert Test Sites. Lisa lives in Los Angeles, where a lot of interesting cross boundary art is happening these days. Her work in the Biennial include some examples of her knitted statement sweaters which she started making in 2004. This one I find particularly wonderful.

It goes with a megazine also on display. Lisa Anne Auerbach, Let the Dream Write Itself, 2014. Wool, 63 × 80 in. (160 × 203.2 cm), Collection of the artist and Gavlak Gallery, Palm Beach.

Also, the New York Times did a studio visit here.
