Do you ever try to imagine someone in their workspace? Someone who you may never have met and certainly never visited? AJF does. So we thought it would be interesting to publish an online series on work environments, not only for artists, but also for curators, collectors, writers, etc. The series will be called Work Spaces

 

If you want to participate please send the following to Susan Cummins

  1. Susan Cummins' work space, 
    photo: Susan Cummins
    A photograph (see example from Susan's space) of your bench, desk, room, computer, etc. By sending this photo, you will be giving us permission to use it on the website. Please don't send photos of pieces, portraits, or anything else besides your space and how you use it.
  2. A short (less than 200 words) paragraph describing what is in the photo and how it relates to your process. 
  3. Your website address.
  4. The city and country you live in. 

This is a completely open and ongoing series so if you want to pass it along to others, please do, but if you want to be the first up on the website, get yours in asap. 

 

AJF looks forward to seeing where you work!

FEATURED REVIEW


Myra Mimlitsch-Gray: Master Metalsmith MMXIV

Elizabeth Murphy

 

Humorous and exquisitely detailed, and moving between jewelry and objects, the work of Myra Mimlitsch-Gray at the Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, as reviewed by Elizabeth Murphy. You gotta love a review that utilizes "fetish" and "sexy holes" in reference to meticulously crafted art objects.
