i’m jealous of mary button durell

Tracing paper and wheat paste… delicate, organic, beautiful, light-filled tracing paper and wheat paste. That’s it. Seriously. Sigh. I love this sculptural work by San Francisco based artist Mary Button Durell… and don’t even get me started on her workspace!* I want my studio filled with lovely cells and cones made solely from tracing paper and wheat paste!!!

*The last three images are shots from her studio.

    This post is a reminder that sometimes less is more. I always want to be surrounded my every bit of media that I own, and I want to use it all at one time. This is an eye-opener that limited color, and media can make an honest and beautiful piece of work.
