this is exactly the kind of artwork i love to see, but it's sad to see the mining/extractivist point of view: "a new discovery for us," "a trove of work was uncovered," "found in upstate new york," etc.

the saddest to me was the wire works they found in the trash in philadelphia that are now "big hits". did they even try to find the artist?? i bet that person would be beyond thrilled to know that their works are selling!

i love hearing artists discuss their work. here is a great video showing korean artist kimsooja's rainbow light works, and it includes her talking about the works and the philosophy behind it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWH8ZN9TciA

taking good photographs of artwork is already hard, but it's even harder for uv-reactive works!

i'm at the stage where i'm sitting under blacklight, fine-tuning the photos with the actual pieces sitting next to me.

the way the art and photo look in the below photo? it's still not how it looks irl..

I have an opportunity to be a vendor in a local store, and I need to bring over some of my work to show them. So I've picked out 3 or 4 samples of each type of product I think they'd like, but I have no idea what the best way to present it is. All I know is that this pegboard is NOT the way. It just doesn't look very special 🤔 Any thoughts? #artbiz #presentation #MastoArt #ArtJewelry
