Today we’re visiting “all in time”, Maria Maea’s solo exhibition at Murmurs, Los Angeles, on view until December 17.

"Maria Maea’s attempt to complicate the singular narrative that Brown artists are given. The work is both abstract and figurative, heavily infused with visual cues from her Samoan and Mexican backgrounds and the punk DIY ethos of the Long Beach skate scene. An underlying theme throughout the show is the question of what happens when personal memory collides with community: memories are not always straight-forward or entirely truthful yet they define the identity of a family or group of people.”

Woven Wareables by Daniel Brocket of @FoggyBlossomFarm #TraditionalCraftTuesday

Dan (who has only been weaving since 2018!) is in residency at Contemporary Craft in Pittsburg - @sccpgh - until March 2023. If you're in the area it's worth a trip down to their beautiful Butler Street facility to visit Dan in the fiber studio.

Dan also cultivates basketry willow at his farm just northeast of Pittsburg. And we like that 'cause more willow farmers leads to more willow weavers! Thanks Dan!

Handbags, shoppers, fanny packs… function has been the focus for Dan’s latest dive into accessories.

NBO Featured Friday Geraldine Zelinsky

I was taught longleaf pine needle basketry a number of years ago and only in the last year began sharing not only my teachings, but also the plight of the endangered Longleaf Pine Forest. I have had the privilege to demonstrate basket making at:
The Louisiana State Exhibit Museum Archaeology Day
The Walter B Jacobs Nature Park "Art in the Park"
The Louisiana State University-Shreveport "Pioneer Day"
and take part in
The Tunica Biloxi Intertribal Basketry Summit

There is a blessing in every stitch of every basket that I make. I never know where the pine needles will take me, but each basket becomes part of the journey.
