EVA HILD

Beautiful, organic, ceramic sculptures by the swedish artist Eva Hild.

As she says:
"My inspiration is the ever-changing landscape of my own life and environment! I try to relate my work to my life. What is happening and how does it feel? Pressure. Flow. Strain. Ramification. Inside turns outside."

NORIKO AMBE

Impressive paper sculptures by the Japanese artist Noriko Ambe.
Quoting from the review of her first one-person exhinbition at Pierogi2000 in New York:

" According to Ambe–
When I am drawing/cutting lines, I am interested in observing the power of the changing, growing shape. I want to get to something sublime. The entrance is the detail. The detail is the key point of nature. And we are part of nature. Using the five senses, observing the detail of nature, the process of creation is of equal importance to the finished work. "

(thanx Giax for letting me know 'bout this artist!!!)

MARIELLE VAN HERPEN

Back with bags! ( I can't resist...)
Marielle van Herpen is a Dutch designer, and I particularly like her way to approach archetypal shapes and mix them with other shapes which are the result of daily practical needings...

A great thanx to my friend Giax for showing me this site...

MYRIAM BOTTAZZI

Ethereal, dreamlike creations by Myriam B.

Quoting from her website:

"A fascinating and refined atmosphere surrounds like an aura M.B.'s creations, a stylist born in Milan, that works as through a sort of estrangement of objects and common natural materials, both ancient and modern, which combined together give birth to unusual and fresh combinations.
....
The surreal originality of M.B.'s works has been much appreciated by well known stylist (Gattinoni, Martin Sitbon, Maurizio Galante), who have included her jewellery in their fashion shows. Besides of producing under her trademark "Myriam B.", Myriam Bottazzi has in recent years designed and produced for well known fashion firms like Maurizio Galante, Gattinoni, Martine Sitbon, Oliver by Valentino, Les Copains."

CLAIRE COLES

Claire Coles stitches up everything!!! Starting from second-hand furniture, tea services, vintage wallpapers and many other inspiration sources she creates unique pieces...
The patterns and the graphics always reconnect to the feminine world, evoking sensuosness and romanticism...

MONIQUE HORSTMANN

... I love the lateral way of thinking of this Dutch designer... Monique Horstmann rules her world and creates answers to new needs, from dresses which are both dress for mom ad playing tent for children to bags designed to carry bottles...

Dress to play

Milk me, carry me
