Voyage, Voyage

We'll be on our way to The Alps in a few hours and I can't wait. I don't think that I'll be posting much over the next few days so I hope you all have a good week.

I'd like to leave you with these beautiful photos by Sarah Bridgland. I've been following her blog and Flickr streams for a while now (she was actually one of the first artists I wrote about on K&C) and particularly enjoy her travel photos. Sarah is working on some new wooden collages, which I love and find very inspiring.

Open your eyes and look around - colours, shapes and textures everywhere.

C'est la vie, and it's here and now.

Bonne semaine et à bientôt !

Give Me Three #35

I would love prints of these three collages by Olga Rezontova.

You'll find more examples of her work here and need to check out her Pinterest, one of my daily sources of inspiration.

The Dealer

"How much of our happiness or unhappiness in life is linked to expectation?"

Over time, Ann Winder Boyle's work has evolved to explore the link between expectation and our sense of fulfillment. Her small-scale work collaged with books and beeswax is intimate and intriguing. Fleeting moments, nostalgic and playful, but also melancholic and dark (take a closer look at The Dealer, for example), I would love to own one of her pieces. 

I hope you will take the time to explore Ann's beautiful portfolio and watch the video on her site. She really is one of my favourite artists.
